3.2.4 Higher-Layer Triggered Events

  • Article

When a request is received from a higher layer, the client MUST create a named pipe connection to the server as specified in section 2.1. If it is unable to do so, the higher-layer request MUST be failed. That is, in case of a failure to connect, the higher level MUST retry the connection.

A header MUST be pre-pended with fields set as specified in section 2.2.2.

For messages that are specified as requiring a nonzero checksum, the _ulChecksum value MUST be calculated as follows:

  1. The contents of the message after the _ulReserved2 field in the message header MUST be interpreted as a sequence of 32-bit integers. The client MUST calculate the sum of the numeric values given by these integers.

  2. Calculate the bitwise XOR of this value with 0x59533959.

  3. Subtract the value given by _msg from the value that results from the bitwise XOR.
