I have run into a problem with NetIPC.  I am trying to use ipcgive to give
away a socket so a son process can take over and manage the connection for the
rest of the session.
 
I keep getting a SOCKERR 3 Parameter bounds violation.  Which the manual says
check your parameters and make sure they are on a word boundry.  They are on
word boundries and I have not a clue as to where to look for the problem.
 
Heres the snippet of code that executes to create the son process.
 
void CreateSon(int ClientSock)
{
 
/*************************************************
 * This procedure creates a son process and      *
 * passes the son process the socket connection  *
 * for the incoming connection request.          *
 *************************************************/
 
 char  GiveName[12];
 int   HPStatus=0;
 int   CreateStatus=0;
 int   FlagMask[3]  = {11,10,0};
 int   FlagValue[3] = {0,0,0};
 short Pin;
 
/*************************************************
 * We need to give the socket away so that the   *
 * son process can use the socket connection.    *
 * We are only giving away the incoming socket.  *
 *************************************************/
 
 printf("Giving away socket %d...\n",ClientSock);
 ipcgive(ClientSock,GiveName,0,0,&HPStatus);
 if (HPStatus != 0)
   {
    printf("Problem giving the socket(%d)\n",HPStatus);
    IPCError(HPStatus);
    ipcshutdown(ClientSock);
    return;
   }
 
/*************************************************
 * Now create the son process.  If it fails we   *
 * need to get the socket back and close it.     *
 *************************************************/
 
 printf("Creating son process to handle socket %d...\n",ClientSock);
 GiveName[8] = '\0';
 FlagValue[0] = (int)GiveName;
 createprocess (&CreateStatus, &Pin, "CheckSon", FlagMask, FlagValue);
 if (ccode() != CCE)
   {
    printf("Could not create son process to handle socket.\n");
    ipcget(GiveName,8,0,&ClientSock,&HPStatus);
    if (HPStatus == 0)
       ipcshutdown(ClientSock);
    else
      {
       printf("Problem getting the socket back(%d)\n",HPStatus);
       IPCError(HPStatus);
      }
   }
 else
   IncrementSonCount();
}
 
 
Any clues would be very helpful
 
thanks
