.fi 
.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
.PP 
\fBrtf_put\fP writes a block of data to a realtime fifo (RT-FIFO) previously created with a call to \fBrtf_create(3)\fP.  \fBfifo\fR is the ID with which the RT-FIFO was created.  \fBbuf\fR is the block of data to be filled with the received bytes, while \fBcount\fR is the size of the block in bytes.  This mechanism is available only to realtime tasks;  Linux processes use a \fBwrite(2)\fP to the corresponding fifo device to enqueue data to a fifo.  Similarly, Linux processes use \fBread(2)\fP or similar functions to read the data previously written via \fBrtf_put\fP by a realtime task. 
.PP 
The RT-FIFO is a mechanism, implemented as a character device, to communicate between realtime tasks and ordinary Linux processes.  The rtf_* functions are used by the realtime tasks;  Linux processes use standard character device access functions such as \fBread(2)\fP, \fBwrite(2\fP) and \fBselect(2)\fP. 
.SH "RETURN VALUE" 
.PP 
On success, \fBcount\fR is returned.  On failure, a 
negative value is returned as described below. 
.SH "ERRORS" 
.IP "-ENODEV" 10 
\fBfifo\fR is greater than or equal to RTF_NO. 
.IP "-EINVAL" 10 
\fBfifo\fR is not a valid RT-FIFO identifier. 
.IP "-ENOSPC" 10 
insufficient space is available in the RT-FIFO for \fBcount\fR bytes. 
.SH "Notes" 
.PP 
\fBrtf_put\fP is available in PSC, the user-level 
real-time signal library.  It can be called from handlers installed via 
\fIrtlinux_sigaction(3) (link to URL rtlinux_sigaction.3.html) \fR.
