int Put_Updates(int seg_id, enum send_type send_type);

Description

Put_Updates sends updates for the segment specified by seg_id to all the current members of the segment's copy set (see Need_Updates(3), Dont_Need_Updates(3)). Put_Updates(3) blocks until all members of the copy set have received the updates.

send_type indicates whether the segment is likely to have multiple senders. It may be set to either Concast or Multicast.

Return Values

Put_Updates returns 0 upon success. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned.

Errors

An error will occur if seg_id is invalid or if the process is not a member of the segment's copy set.
