BSASendData

Send a byte stream of data in a buffer.

SYNOPSIS

#include <xbsa.h>

int BSASendData(BSA_Handle bsaHandle, BSA_DataBlock32 *dataBlockPtr)

DESCRIPTION

BSASendData() sends a byte stream of data to the NetBackup XBSA interface in a buffer. BSASendData() can be called multiple times, in case the byte stream of data to be sent is large. This call can be used only after a BSACreateObject() or another BSASendData() call.

PARAMETERS

BSA_Handle bsaHandle (I)

This parameter is the handle that associates this call with a previous BSAInit() call.

BSA_DataBlock32 *dataBlockPtr (I)

This parameter is a pointer to a structure that includes a pointer to the buffer from which the data is to be sent, as well as the size of the buffer.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

The NetBackup XBSA interface does not overwrite any of the fields in the BSA_DataBlock32 structure. The NetBackup XBSA interface can write into the header and trailer portions of the buffer. See Use of BSA_DataBlock32 in BSASendData().

BSA_RC_ABORT_SYSTEM_ERROR
