MYTH PROTO VERSION (Myth Protocol)

MYTH_PROTO_VERSION

Arguments

Command arguments: <client protocol version>

List arguments: none

Examples

Command:

21      MYTH_PROTO_VERSION 26

Response:

13      ACCEPT[]:[]26

Description

If the version number given matches the protocol version number spoken by the server, the command will succeed. Otherwise, the command will fail. This should always be the first command sent by a client when it connects to insure that it will be understood by the server.

Returns

Successful response:

ACCEPT[]:[]<server protocol version>

Unsuccessful response:

REJECT[]:[]<server protocol version>

Telnet

A nice way of testing this is with telnet. Type the following command into a console window on the machine with mythbackend running on it:

telnet localhost 6543

And you should see the following information:

Trying localhost...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

Now copy and paste the MYTH_PROTO_VERSION command in exactly, hit return and you should see mythbackend respond with either accept or reject.

21      MYTH_PROTO_VERSION 40
13      ACCEPT[]:[]40
