C++ INTERFACES

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

PARAMETERS

nbpEntity

A pointer to the NBP entity structure you wish to determine the length of.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

DESCRIPTION

The OTGetNBPEntityLengthAsAddress function obtains the number of bytes needed to store an NBP entity structure into an NBP or combined DDP-NBP address structure.

SEE ALSO

The NBP entity structure is described in the section "The NBP Entity Structure," beginning on page 10-20.

The NBP address structure is described in the section "The NBP Address Structure," beginning on page 10-17.

The combined DDP-NBP entity structure is described in the section "The Combined DDP-NBP Address Structure," beginning on page 10-17.

To store an NBP entity structure as an NBP address string, use the OTSetAddressFromNBPEntity function (page 10-27).
