| 21 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 22 | The \fIisore\fR program is used to correct a deficiency in the 4.2 | |
| 23 | Berkeley UNIX implementation of TCP/IP. | |
| 24 | In short, | |
| 25 | the SIGIO signal for asynchronous notification of socket activity is not | |
| 26 | implemented. | |
| 27 | If a transport\-descriptor is marked as being asynchronous | |
| 28 | (the TSAP-provider can initiate INDICATION events at any time), | |
| 29 | then this capability is necessary. | |
| 30 | The \fIisore\fR program is spawned automatically when one or more | |
| 31 | transport\-descriptors are marked for asynchronous INDICATIONs. | |
| 32 | It monitors the TCP/IP traffic, as efficiently as possible, | |
| 33 | and sends the SIGEMT signal to the program when the network would generate | |
| 34 | an N\-DATA.INDICATION event. | |
| 35 | The program catches this signal and performs the appropriate action. | |
| 36 | .PP | |
| 37 | This program is mostly likely obsolete on 4.3BSD and SVR3 systems. | |
