| <p><a name="index-file_002di_002fo-request-packet-2497"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040code_007bF_007d-request-packet-2498"></a> |
| The <code>F</code> request packet has the following format: |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">F</span><var>call-id</var><span class="samp">,</span><var>parameter<small class="dots">...</small></var></samp>’<dd> |
| <var>call-id</var> is the identifier to indicate the host system call to be called. |
| This is just the name of the function. |
| |
| <p><var>parameter<small class="dots">...</small></var> are the parameters to the system call. |
| Parameters are hexadecimal integer values, either the actual values in case |
| of scalar datatypes, pointers to target buffer space in case of compound |
| datatypes and unspecified memory areas, or pointer/length pairs in case |
| of string parameters. These are appended to the <var>call-id</var> as a |
| comma-delimited list. All values are transmitted in ASCII |
| string representation, pointer/length pairs separated by a slash. |
