Functions
This section describes endpoint functions, provider functions that you use only with endpoints. The first four subsections--"Creating Endpoints," "Binding and Unbinding Endpoints," "Obtaining Information About an Endpoint," and "Allocating Structures" --describe functions that you can use with any endpoint. The remaining subsections describe functions that you can use only with specific types of endpoints, as indicated by the subsection title; for example, "Functions for Connectionless Transactionless Endpoints." Endpoint types are described in "Endpoint Types and Mode of Service" on page 3-7.You can also use general provider functions with endpoints. General provider functions and structures are described in the reference section of the chapter "Providers" in this book.
