nbp(3N)
An array of at nbptuple t to receive entity tuples.
- -
The maximum number of entity tuples to accept If
max or more distinct tuples are received before the
lookup retry is exceeded, the lookup terminates.
The pointer to the structure that specifies the NBP request
retry interval in seconds and the maximum retry
count If retry is NUlL, the system uses the default
values: a one-second interval and eight retries.
On success, nbp _lookup returns the number of entity tuples actually
received.
The nbp_register structure adds the specified name-socket
pair to the list of registered names on this node. The parameters
are
entity
fd
retry
A pointer to the at en tit Y t structure containing
the entity name to be registered. The zone field of entity
is always ignored. No wildcards are allowed in
the entity strings.
An AppleTaik file descriptor to be registered with the
given name.
A pointer to the structure that specifies the NBP request
retry interval in seconds and the maximum retry
count If retry is NULL, the system uses the default
values: a I-second interval and eight retries.
The nbp _remove structure removes the specified entity name
from the list of registered names on this node. The parameters are
entity A pointer to the at en tit Y t structure containing
the entity name to Ii" removed:-The zone field of entity
is always ignored. No wildcards are allowed in the
entity strings.
fd The AppleTaik file descriptor that is registered with
the given name.
