Sending a Fax Using Calls for TIFF-F Files

One way to send a fax using function calls for TIFF-F files is demonstrated below. Each function is presented in sequential order, and the action it performs is described beneath it.

BT_ZERO(args_admin); args_admin.unit = unit;

lp = BfvLineAttach(&args_admin);

Attaches to a free channel and gets a line pointer.

args_admin.config_file_name = "usrcnfig.cfg"; BfvLineReset(lp,&args_admin);

Resets the channel and sets the user-configured options selected in the user-defined configuration file named usrcnfig.cfg.

BT_ZERO(args_tiff); args_tiff.fname = name; args_tiff.fmode = "r";

tp = BfvTiffOpen(&args_tiff);

Opens the TIFF-F file name for reading and transmission.

BT_ZERO(args_tel);

args_tel.phonenum = "w7814499009";

args_tel.call_protocol_code = CALL_PROTOCOL_FAX; args_tel.func = userfunc;

args_tel.arg = userarg; BfvLineOriginateCall(lp,&args_tel);

Dials the phone number, monitors call progress, calls the user function to optionally decide when to terminate call progress.

BT_ZERO(args_fax);

args_fax.local_id = "Id_string"; BfvFaxSetLocalID(lp,&args_fax);

Sets the local id.

BT_ZERO(args_fax); args_fax.s_tp = tp; BfvFaxBeginSendTiff(lp,&args_fax);

Begins the Phase B handshaking procedure.

BfvFaxGetRemoteInfo(lp, &args_fax);

Waits for the called machine to send its ID and capabilities.

BfvFaxWaitForTraining(lp, &args_fax);

Waits for the completion of the Phase B handshaking procedure.
