Because of the requirement for total distribution transparency, users send subscriptions and receive topology events in their own host format. It is up to the topology server to determine this format and do the correct conversions to and from its own host format when needed. Until now, this has been handled in a rather non-transparent way inside the topology server and subscriber code, leading to unnecessary complexity when creating subscriptions and issuing events. We now improve this situation by adding two new macros, tipc_sub_read() and tipc_evt_write(). Both those functions calculate the need for conversion internally before performing their respective operations. Hence, all handling of such conversions become transparent to the rest of the code.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
