ASP and AFP Description Discrepancies

Technote NW 04 August 1988

Written by: Mark Bennet August 1988

The descriptions of the AppleTalk Session Protocol and AppleTalk Filing Protocol functions within the body of the AppleTalk Manager chapter are incorrect and conflict with those in the Summary of the AppleTalk Manager. This technical note resolves the discrepancy.

The descriptions of the AppleTalk Session Protocol and AppleTalk Filing Protocol functions which are described on pages 534 through 548 of Inside Macintosh Volume V conflict with the descriptions in the Summary of the AppleTalk Manager section, pages 554 through 559. The descriptions in the Summary of the AppleTalk Manager section are correct and should be followed.

The Summary of the AppleTalk Manager does not, however, present a description of the correct meaning of the arrows next to the parameter names in the function descriptions. The meaning of the arrows is equivalent to the one given to them in the descriptions of other Operating System calls, i.e.:

Arrow Meaning

-> Parameter is passed

<- Parameter is returned

<-> Parameter is passed and returned
