Chapter 6 - AppleTalk Transaction Protocol (ATP)

Using ATP

This section describes how to use ATP to

• send a transaction request to a responder application that is an ATP socket client
• receive a request from an ATP requester application and respond to it
• cancel pending ATP requests and responses

You can write a single ATP application that includes both the responder and requester code or two ATP applications that separately provide the responder and the requester services. This section describes how to write a requester application, and then it describes how to write a responder application.
