The dpstop man page







NAME
     dpstop - stop the current DP process

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     void dpstop(stopmsg)
     char *stopmsg;

DESCRIPTION
     dpstop() is called to stop DP processes at  once.   If  it's
     called  by  a secondary, the secondary and all its children,
     if there are  any,  will  stop  their  task  and  execute  a
     dpexit().  The  primary  is  informed and also stops. If the
     primary calls dpstop(), all processes will be stopped.

     The stop procedure is aimed at terminating DP  processes  in
     case of an emergency.  Unfortunately at this time it has not
     been fully implemented.

REMARK
     This is a DP function call.
