Re: Possible LDM Library call

Hi Warren,

Yes, that's definitely a possibility (still!).  Thinking about this
and other things has led us to conclude that the LDM system needs a
shared memory segment that keeps track of its state (who's connected,
etc.).  Once a library to access that memory exists, writing programs
like the one you want would be easy.

It's on my list and should be done sometime within the next year.

Steve Emmerson

Subject: Possible LDM Library call

Hi Steve,

I just received the following inquiry from ROC relative to an LDM
function we briefly discussed back in September 2004.


Proposed LDM Hook - It would be nice if LDM had a library call that
returns the IP addresses (and status) of everyone connected in and
requesting local LDM data. This could allow the RP G/BDDS programmers to
provide a feedback to the WFO user(s) that data is being put out on LDM
port 388 via a GUI...

At that time you responded:

Have you given this any more consideration and determined if it is a
possibility in the near future?

Thanks,
Warren
