Processing for ADSM Release Requests

To process the release request:

  1. The server loads the external program in a newly created process and creates pipes to the external program.

  2. The server sends an initialization request description string, in text form, into the standard input (stdin) stream of the external program. The ADSM server waits for the response.

  3. When the external process completes the request, the process must write an initialization response string, in text form, into its standard output (stdout) stream.

  4. The ADSM server sends the RELEASE request (stdin).

  5. The agent sends the RELEASE response (stdout), performs any necessary cleanup, and calls the stdlib exit routine.
