Obtains a path report descriptor.
IPCLOOKUP(socketname,nlen,nodename,nodelen,flags,pathdesc, protocol,socketkind,result)
socketname | Packed array of characters (Pascal); Integer |
| array (FORTRAN), by reference. An array containing |
| the ASCIIcoded name of the call socket to be •looked up." |
| Upper and lower case characters are not considered distinct. |
nlen | |
| reference in FORTRAN. The length of the socket name in |
| characters. Maximum length is 16 characters. |
nodename | Packed array of characters (Pascal); Integer |
| array (FORTRAN), by reference. A variable length |
| array of ASCII characters identifying the node where the socket |
| specified in the socketname parameter resides. The syntax of |
| the node name is node[.domain[.organization]], |
| which is further described in the NSARPA/1000 |
| User/Programmer Reference Manual. |
| Default: You may omit the organization, organization and |
| domain, or all parts of the node name. When organization or |
| organization and domain are omitted, they will default to the |
| local organization and/or domain. If the nodelen parameter is |
| set to zero, nodename is ignored and the node name defaults |
| to the local node. |
nodelen | |
| reference in FORTRAN. The length in bytes of the |
| nodename parameter. If this parameter is zero (0), the |
| nodename parameter is ignored and the node name defaults to |
| the local node. A fullyqualified node name length may be 50 |
| bytes long. |
flags | |
| special request bits. This parameter is reserved for future use. |
| All bits must be clear (set to zero). |
pathdesc | |
| descriptor. Refers to the path report descriptor which indicates |
| the location of the named call socket. May be used in |
| subsequent NetIPC calls (IPCConnect, IPCName, IPCGive, |
| etc.). |
protocol | |
| protocol module with which the •looked up" socket is |
| associated. May be used in an IPCCreate call to create a call |
| socket with the appropriate protocol binding. |
socketkind | |
| type. |
result | |
| returned; zero if no error. |
