[Firebird-devel] op_service_info packet format

[Jiri C. <di...@ci...>]

Hi *,

trying to implement the restore via streaming via isc_info_svc_stdin,
and I was so desperate for some real documentation that I went
directly to wire. What confuses me is the packet from fbsvcmgr vs
"normal" op_service_info packets I'm usually sending.

fbsvcmgr:
00 00 00 54 - op_service_info (84)
00 00 00 00 - handle (0)
00 00 00 00 - incarnation (0)
00 00 00 08 - what's this? What I normally send in this place is
isc_spb_version (2).
To be precise:
00 00 00 01 - length (1)
02 - isc_spb_version (2)
<empty> - nothing in SPB
00 00 00 - padding
And now the request buffer.
So: 00 00 00 01 02 00 00 00.

But what I see on wire from fbsvcmgr is:
00 00 00 08 40 04 00 01

That's pretty confusing. I have to admit I didn't write the code for
sending op_service_info, so it might be wrong, I just suppose I'm
wrong because it worked years before.
