SUMMARY
=======

When using the LUA/SLI interface to communicate with an IBM host application, it
is necessary to make a call to SLI in order to determine if the session is still
active. If SLI_BID is called, SLI_BID will block the calling thread until either
the host sends a message to the SLI application, or the session is lost.

If the host never sends data to the application, the SLI application can call
SLI_RECEIVE and set the nowait flag in order to determine if the session is
still active. SLI_RECEIVE with nowait will return immediately and will not block
the calling thread.

MORE INFORMATION
================

If the session has failed, SLI_RECEIVE(nowait) will return the following return
codes:

  primary_rc   = LUA_STATE_CHECK (0x0002)
  secondary_rc = LUA_NO_SLI_SESSION  (0x00000034)

If the session is still active, SLI_RECEIVE(nowait) will return the following
return codes:

  primary_rc   = LUA_UNSUCCESSFUL (0x0014)
  secondary_rc = LUA_NO_DATA (0x00000011)

the SLI_RECEIVE and SLI_BID functions.
