Functions

OTCompareDDPAddresses

Compares two DDP address structures.

C INTERFACE

Boolean OTCompareDDPAddresses (const DDPAddress* addr1, 
                               const DDPAddress* addr2);

C++ INTERFACES

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

PARAMETERS

addr1

A pointer to one of the DDP address structures you wish
to compare.

addr2

A pointer to the second DDP address structure you wish
to compare.

DESCRIPTION

The OTCompareDDPAddresses function compares two DDP addresses for equality and returns true if the two addresses match. It cannot compare NBP or combined DDP-NBP addresses; using these address types always returns false. This function uses the zero-matches-anything AppleTalk rule when doing the matching, which means that a value of 0 in any field results in an acceptable match.
