Chapter 6 - Resolving and Creating Object Specifier Records

Reference to Resolving and Creating Object Specifier Records

This section describes the Apple Event Manager routines your application can use to resolve and create object specifier records. It also describes application-defined object accessor functions and object callback functions that your application can provide for use by the Apple Event Manager in resolving object specifier records.

The first section, "Data Structures Used in Object Specifier Records," summarizes the descriptor types and associated data that can be used in an object specifier record. "Routines for Resolving and Creating Object Specifier Records," which begins on page 6-90, describes the Apple Event Manager routines you use to initialize the Object Support Library, resolve object specifier records, set and manipulate object accessor functions, deallocate memory for tokens, and create object specifier records. "Application-Defined Routines," which begins on page 6-107, describes the object accessor functions and object callback functions that a server application can provide.
