.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Read data from a standard I/O fd and send it to one or more \s-1XPA\s0
servers whose class:name identifier matches the specified
template.
.PP
A
template
of the form \*(L"class1:name1\*(R" is sent to the
\&\s-1XPA\s0 name server, which returns a list of at most n matching \s-1XPA\s0
servers.  A connection is established with each of these servers and
the paramlist string is passed to the server as the data transfer
request is initiated. If an \s-1XPA\s0 struct is passed to the call, then the
persistent connections are updated as described above. Otherwise,
temporary connections are made to the servers (which will be closed
when the call completes).
.PP
The \fIXPASetFd()\fR routine then reads bytes from the specified fd
until \s-1EOF\s0 and sends these bytes to the \s-1XPA\s0 servers.  
The final parameter n specifies the maximum number of servers to contact.
A string containing the class:name and ip:port of each server is returned in
the name array.  If a given server returned an error, then the error
message will be stored in the associated element of the messages array.
\&\s-1NB:\s0 if specified, the name and messages arrays must be of size n or greater.
.PP
The return value will contain the actual number of servers that were
processed.  This value thus will hold the number of valid entries in
the names and messages arrays, and can be used to loop through these
arrays.  In names and/or messages is \s-1NULL\s0, no information is passed back
in that array.
.PP
The mode string is of the form: \*(L"key1=value1,key2=value2,...\*(R"
The following keywords are recognized:
.PP
.Vb 4
\&  key           value           default         explanation
\&  \-\-\-\-\-\-        \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-        \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-        \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
\&  ack           true/false      true            if false, don\*(Aqt wait for ack from server (after callback completes)
\&  verify        true/false      false           send buf from XPASet[Fd] to stdout
.Ve
.PP
The ack keyword is useful in cases where one does not want to wait for
the server to complete, e.g. is a lot of processing needs to be done
on the passed data or when the success of the server operation is not
relevant to the client.
