OSType fType;

};

typedef struct CfgPrefsHeader CfgPrefsHeader;

Field descriptions
fSize	The size in bytes of the preference, not including the
	CfgPrefsHeader structure itself.
fVersion	Always zero in the version of Network Setup described by
	this document.
fType	An OS type that uniquely identiﬁes the preference within
	the entity.

To get the CfgPrefsHeader structures for an entity, call OTCfgGetPrefsTOC (page 89).

CfgResourceLocator

The CfgResourceLocator structure contains a ﬁle speciﬁcation and a resource ID for an entity’s custom icon.

struct CfgResourceLocator {

FSSpec	fFile;
SInt16	fResID;
};
Field descriptions
fFile	A ﬁle speciﬁcation.
fResID	A resource ID.

The CfgResourceLocator structure is a member of the CfgEntityInfo (page 99) structure. Custom icons are currently not displayed, so you should initialize this structure to zero for any entities that you create.

CfgSetsStruct

The CfgSetsStruct structure holds information about a set entity.

This routine calls a routine, MyGetEntityUserVisibleName, which hasn’t been documented yet. It is shown in Listing 2-9 in the section “Reading and Writing Preferences” page Finding an Active Entity Reading and Writing PreferencesUsing Network Setup Reading Fixed-size PreferencesListing 2-7 Reading a ﬁxed-size preference Reading and Writing PreferencesThe sample shown in Listing 2-7, which opens and closes the entity before reading each preference, is implemented in an inefﬁcient manner for the sake of clarity. If you are reading multiple preferences, it is more efﬁcient to open the entity once. Then read the preferences by calling OTCfgGetPrefs or OTCfgSetPrefs multiple times and close the entity when you’re done assertdbRef != nil assertentity != nil assertname != nil Reading Variable-size Preferences38 Reading and Writing Preferences Using Network SetupWriting Preferences Iterating the Preferences in an Entity Reading and Writing Preferences Using Network SetupWorking with Sets Finding the Active Set Entity The MyFindActiveSet routine in Listing 2-13 implements the ﬁrst two steps. It starts by getting a list of all of the set entities by calling the MyGetEntitiesList routine Listing 2-5. Then MyFindActiveSet iterates through all of the set entities, reading the kOTCfgSetsStructPref preference of each set entity. That preference maps to the CfgSetsStruct structure, which contains an fFlags member. One bit of the fFlags member, kOTCfgSetsFlagActiveMask, indicates whether this set entity is the active set entity. If it is, the routine breaks out of the loop and returns the set’s entity reference to the caller breaks out of the loop and returns the found entity 46 Working with Sets Using Network SetupListing 2-14 Finding the active entity of a given class and type Working with Sets Using Network SetupListing 2-15 Finding the active TCP/IP entity Areas and Sets TCP/IP Notes Protocol-speciﬁc Topicsaccess the preference in its packed format cursor = UInt8 * packedPref Using Network SetupProtocol-speciﬁc Topics UInt8 *cursor Using Network Setup52 Protocol-speciﬁc Topics Remote Access Notes OTCfgRemoteClientLocks page Modem NotesStoring Third-party Preferences in Apple Entities Network Setup and Third-party Protocol StacksNotes for Third Parties C H A P T E R Using Network Setup56 Notes for Third Parties Opening and Closing the Network Setup Database Network Setup ReferenceNetwork Setup Functions OTCfgCloseDatabase OTCfgOpenDatabaseManaging Areas OTCfgGetCurrentArea OTCfgOpenArea OTCfgSetCurrentAreaOTCfgCloseArea function result OTCfgBeginAreaModiﬁcationsfunction result OTCfgCommitAreaModiﬁcationsOTCfgIsSameAreaID OTCfgAbortAreaModiﬁcationsfunction result OTCfgAbortAreaModifications returns kCfgErrAreaNotFoundfunction result OTCfgGetAreaNamefunction result OTCfgSetAreaNamefunction result OTCfgGetAreasCountOTCfgGetAreasList function result that are available.
