.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.B astribank_is_starting
|
||
|
|
is an internal tool used by various xpp scripts to mark that there may
|
||
|
|
be an Astribank device currently initializing, and to check for that mark.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Technically the mark is a SysV semaphore.
|
||
|

.RS
|
||
|
|
If set, the astribank should appear there with the ID 11211168 (0xAB11A0).
|
||
|
|
Naturally the ID (or rather, the usage of a semaphore in the first place)
|
||
|
|
is an implementation detail that may change.

.SH NOTES
|
||
|
|
.B astribank_is_starting
|
||
|
|
is used to mark the fact that an Astribank may be currently reenumerating
|
||
|
|
(technically: distonnecting and connecting as a new USB device) after
|
||
|
|
loading the firmware. Thus the script that loads the firmware
|
||
|
|
(/usr/share/dahdi/xpp_fxloader) uses this utility to set the mark.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The mark is reset by /usr/share/dahdi/waitfor_xpds , which is typically
|
||
|
|
run by the DAHDI init script and waits for all Astribanks to finish
|
||
|
|
loading.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Q: Why do you use a semaphore?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A: because, unlike the filesystem, it is writable at any given time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
||
|
|
Option ordering matter. The \fB\-v\fR and \fB\-d\fR options should preceed
|
||
|
|
the actions (\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-r\fR and \fB\-w\fR).
|
||
|
|
The \fB\-t\fItimeout\fR option should preceed the \fB\-w\fR option.
