Constants and Data Types

The TRegisterReply Structure

You use the TRegisterReply structure to store information returned by the OTRegisterName function (page 4-21).

The TRegisterReply structure is defined by the TRegisterReply data type.

struct TRegisterReply
   {  TNetbuf  addr;
      OTNameID nameid;
   };
   typedef struct TRegisterReply TRegisterReply;

Field descriptions

addr

A TNetbuf structure that you allocate to hold the location and size of a buffer containing the actual address of the entity whose name you have just registered. This information is passed back to you when the OTRegisterName function returns. You must allocate a buffer, set the addr.buf field to point to it, and set the addr.maxlen field to the maximum size the address could take up.

nameid

A unique identifier passed to you when the OTRegisterName function returns. You can use this identifier when you call the OTDeleteNameByID function to delete the name.
