Functions

OTInitDDPAddress

Initializes a DDP address structure.

C INTERFACE

void OTInitDDPAddress (DDPAddress* address, UInt16 net, 
                       UInt8 node, UInt8 socket, UInt8 ddpType);

C++ INTERFACES

None. C++ applications use the C interface to this function.

PARAMETERS

address

A pointer to the DDP address structure you wish to initialize.

net

The network number you wish to specify. Set to 0 to default to the local network.

node

The node ID you wish to specify. Set to 0 to default to the
local node.

socket

The socket number you wish to specify. Set to 0 to allow Open Transport to assign a socket dynamically when you use this address to bind an endpoint.

ddpType

The DDP type you wish to specify. Set to 0 unless you are
using DDP.

SEE ALSO

The DDP address structure is described in the section "The DDP Address Structure," beginning on page 10-16.

To initialize an NBP address, use the OTInitNBPAddress function (page 10-22). To initialize a combined DDPNBP address, use the OTInitDDPNBPAddress function (page 10-23).

See the chapter "Datagram Delivery Protocol" in this book for more information about the DDP type.
