some functions missing in QNX6

I have to port a library from QNX2 to QNX6, and it has some QNX2
functions that are not available on QNX6.

The functions are:

  1. signal_hw_port
  2. set_int_mask
  3. set_int_vec
  4. name_attach
  5. name_locate
  6. name_detach
  7. detach
    :sunglasses: attach_port
  8. create_seg

I think that name_attach, name_locate, and name_detach are the old
“qnx_name_attach”, “qnx_name_locate” and “qnx_name_detach” but i would like
if anyone could confirm that.
How can be replaced the functions listed above.
Thanks in advance.

    Not sure about this one. What was it used for? If it was for having

an interrupt handler wake up a process then the Interrupt Handler
section menioned below will help. The interrupt handler would return
with an event. The event could contain a pulse which would be sent
to a MsgReceive().

  1. set_int_mask
    InterruptMask(), InterruptUnmask()


  2. set_int_vec
    InterruptAttach(), InterruptAttachEvent()

See Programmer’s Guide, Writing and Interrupt Handler

  1. name_attach
    name_attach()


  2. name_locate
    name_open(), name_close()


  3. name_detach
    name_detach()


  4. detach
    Pulses replace ports. There is nothing to detach from with pulses.



    :sunglasses: > attach_port
    You want to look at pulses. See MsgDeliverEvent() or MsgSendPulse().


  5. create_seg
    You don’t work with selectors in QNX 6. What were you using it for?
