I however do not plan on re-writing every single function. So I need to find a way to somehow access the socket library's resources. My question is, is there a way to access another module's resource? --- ## #18780 — Wez Furlong — 2005-09-11T20:50:44+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/18779#18780 · In reply to: #18779 The module whose resources you are accessing needs to export a function that will give you the list id, and also publish their structure layout in a header file.

The sockets extension would need to provide a new function that returns the value of le_socket, which you'd then use in the same way that the sockets extension does. --Wez. --- ## #18784 — ScriptBlue@nyc.rr.com — 2005-09-11T23:48:39+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/18779#18784 · In reply to: #18783 Yeah I have seen those functions, but they are quite bloated in my opnion. Is there any way of getting the resource id without modifying sockets?

FAILURE : SUCCESS; } By doing it in RINIT you avoid the potential problem of having socketi loaded before socket (which could happen if they're both shared). Once the first request has retreived it, later requests won't have to try because it'll be persistently known from then on. The one pitfall to this method is that *IF* another ext defines a resource named "Socket" (case-sensitive), you could pick up the wrong lde ID. Fairly left-field chance, but technically not impossible. -Sara --- ## #18789 — Sara Golemon — 2005-09-12T04:06:02+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/18779#18789 · In reply to: #18788 > static int le_socket = -1; > Scratch that, those instances of -1 should have been 0....
