Getting Information About a Record’s Attribute

The sample code in Listing 3-2(page 36) demonstrates how to get information about a record’s attribute. The sample code opens an Open Directory session and gets an Open Directory reference. Then it calls its MyOpenDirNode routine and passes to it the address of the node reference (nodeRef) that it has allocated. The MyOpenDirNode routine is described in the section “Opening and Closing a Node” (page 28).
