Request and Reply Formats Figures 9-2 and 9-3 show the general format of requests and replies. Within an

application program, request and reply headers are defined together as the

interprocess communication (IPC) header.

Your application must establish values for the IPC header fields that are transmitted in

the request. Details for how to use the IPC header are described in the TRANSFER

Reference Manual.
