Regimes and Protocol
An application program establishes the FTAM regime by establishing an association
using the F-INITIALIZE service primitive. For a given association in the FTAM regime,
the program can attempt to select or create a file (F-SELECT or F-CREATE service
primitives), gracefully terminate (F-TERMINATE) an association, or abruptly terminate
(F-U-ABORT or F-P-ABORT) the regime.
Figure 2-4. Regime Hierarchy and Service Primitives
Note. F-U-ABORT and F-P-ABORT primitives can be issued at any time in the life of an
association, regardless of the currently active regime.
