Network Setup Protocol Structures and Data Types

kOTCfgTCPActiveAlwaysLoaded

TCP/IP is always loaded.

kOTCfgTCPInactive TCP/IP is never loaded.

The preference type for this preference is kOTCfgTCPDHCPUnloadAttrPref, which is deﬁned as 'unld'.

Apple Remote Access Structures

This section describes structures that store Apple Remote Access (ARA) preferences. The structures are

■OTCfgRemoteAlternateAddress (page 123) stores an alternate number to dial.

■OTCfgRemoteApplication (page 123) stores information used by the Remote Access and the Open Transport/PPP applications.

■OTCfgRemoteARAP (page 124) stores the name of the underlying modem port.

■OTCfgRemoteClientLocks (page 125) stores information about whether a preference is locked.

■OTCfgRemoteClientMisc (page 127) stores automatic connection information.

■OTCfgRemoteConnect (page 127) stores core connection information for ARA conﬁgurations.

■OTCfgRemoteDialAssist (page 130) stores area and country code dialing information.

■OTCfgRemoteDialing (page 131) stores settings for outgoing ARA connections.

■OTCfgRemoteIPCP (page 132) stores information for conﬁguring the Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP) layer of PPP.

■OTCfgRemoteLCP (page 133) stores information for conﬁguring the Link Control Protocol (LCP) layer of PPP.

■OTCfgRemoteLogOptions (page 135) controls the level of logging performed by ARA.

■OTCfgRemotePassword (page 135) holds the user’s dialup password in encrypted form

■OTCfgRemoteServer (page 136) stores an array of port conﬁguration IDs used to locate the conﬁguration for a particular port on a Remote Access server.

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 Reading and Writing Preferences Finding an Active EntityListing 2-7 Reading a ﬁxed-size preference Reading Fixed-size PreferencesUsing Network Setup 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 Reading Variable-size Preferences assertdbRef != nil assertentity != nil assertname != nilUsing Network Setup 38 Reading and Writing PreferencesWriting Preferences Iterating the Preferences in an Entity Using Network Setup Reading and Writing PreferencesWorking 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 Protocol-speciﬁc Topics TCP/IP Notesaccess 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 Modem Notes OTCfgRemoteClientLocks pageStoring 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 OTCfgOpenDatabase OTCfgCloseDatabaseManaging Areas OTCfgGetCurrentArea OTCfgSetCurrentArea OTCfgOpenAreaOTCfgCloseArea OTCfgBeginAreaModiﬁcations function resultOTCfgCommitAreaModiﬁcations function resultfunction result OTCfgAbortAreaModiﬁcationsOTCfgIsSameAreaID OTCfgAbortAreaModifications returns kCfgErrAreaNotFoundOTCfgGetAreaName function resultOTCfgSetAreaName function resultfunction result OTCfgGetAreasCountOTCfgGetAreasList that are available.
