int xfer_run

()

Begin the file transfer.

Documentation

Begin the file transfer.

This very simple function begins the file transfer. It should be run after one of more files have been added to the transfer queue, or if you can guarantee that the queue contains files. The file transfer subsystem will exit gracefully if the list is empty, but not before notifying the user of this. You don't want to appear stupid in front of your users, do you?

Returns:

The UNIX exit code of the file transfer module. This is the same as that returned by the C system() function. A value of 0 means that the subsystem has exited normally. Anything else represents an abnormal termination.
