SYNOPSIS

bool_t

netmgt_request_deferred(agent_host, agent_prog, agent_vers,
                        manager_host, timestamp, timeout)
        char      * agent_host;
        u_long      agent_prog;
        u_long      agent_vers;
        char      * manager_host;
        struct timeval timestamp;
        struct timeval timeout;

DESCRIPTION

netmgt_request_deferred instructs the agent running on agent_host with the RPC program number agent_prog and RPC version number agent_vers, to return any deferred data reports to the rendezvous. The manager process on host manager_host has previously requested the agent to defer sending. timestamp identifies the request.

Upon return of the function, the queue of deferred reports on the agent side is emptied, and the agent continues deferring data reports.

INPUT ARGUMENTS

agent_prog

timestamp

RETURN VALUE
