The TRegisterReply Structure

You use the TRegisterReply structure to store information returned by the OTRegisterName function.

The TRegisterReply structure is defined by the TRegisterReply data type.

struct TRegisterReply
{  
   TNetbuf  addr;
   OTNameID nameid;
};
typedef struct TRegisterReply TRegisterReply;

Field descriptions

addr

A TNetbuf structure that specifies the location and size of a buffer containing the actual address of the entity whose name you have just registered. This information is passed back to you when the OTRegisterName function returns. You must allocate a buffer, set the addr.buf field to point to it, and set the addr.maxlen field to the size of the buffer.

nameid

A unique identifier passed to you when the OTRegisterName function returns. You can use this identifier when you call the OTDeleteNameByID function to delete the name.
