------------------
$man svc_run you have
svc_run()
[Not Thread Safe] This routine waits for RPC requests to arrive, and
calls the appropriate service procedure using svc_getreq() when one
arrives. This procedure is usually waiting for a select() system call
to return.
What does [Not Thread Safe] mean?
I am using rpcgen make multi-threads Oracle database server. What is
the rule that you can mix RPC and threads safely together?
Regards.

In the case of the "svc_run()" function, it means that you should not
call this function from more than one thread or nasty things could
happen. In your case, I would design things so that your main
thread calls svc_run() and then hands off the processing of the
actual RPC requests to child threads to do the real work of processing
the request. Then main thread then goes back to waiting for more
requests to come across the wire.....
