Handling Name and Address Requests
This section describes
- the
NBPSetEntity
procedure, which you can use to put an existing NBP entity name into the structure that NBP requires for you to look up, confirm, or remove an existing registered entity name- the
PLookupName
function, which you can use to look up the network address of an entity, based on the NBP registered name for that entity, or using wildcards- the
NBPExtract
function, which you can use to read a name and address pair from the buffer containing the list of tuples thatPLookupName
returns- the
PConfirmName
function, which you can use to confirm that a name whose address you know is still associated with that address, and that the pair is still registered with the NBP names directory- the
PRemoveName
function, which you can use to remove a name and address pair from the NBP names directory when you no longer want to make the service associated with the tuple available throughout the network- the
PKillNBP
function, which you can use to cancel requests to NBP
