The dpstop man page
NAME
dpstop - stop the current DP process
SYNOPSIS
#include
void dpstop(stopmsg)
char *stopmsg;
DESCRIPTION
dpstop() is called to stop DP processes at once. If it's
called by a secondary, the secondary and all its children,
if there are any, will stop their task and execute a
dpexit(). The primary is informed and also stops. If the
primary calls dpstop(), all processes will be stopped.
The stop procedure is aimed at terminating DP processes in
case of an emergency. Unfortunately at this time it has not
been fully implemented.
REMARK
This is a DP function call.
