Functions

OTInitNBPAddress

Initializes an NBP address structure.

C INTERFACE

size_t OTInitNBPAddress(NBPAddress* address, const char* name);

C++ INTERFACES

None. C++ applications use the C interface to this function.

PARAMETERS

address

A pointer to the NBP address structure you wish to initialize.

name

A pointer to the NBP string you wish to use for the NBP name.

DESCRIPTION

The OTInitNBPAddress function can be used to initialize an NBP address structure with the NBP name specified in the name parameter, which is assumed to already be in the correct string format. The function returns the size of the NBP address structure, which is the size of the fAddressType field plus the length of the string in the name parameter.

SEE ALSO

The NBP address structure is described in the section "The NBP Address Structure," beginning on page 10-17.

To initialize a DDP address, use the OTInitDDPAddress function (page 10-21).

To initialize a combined DDPNBP address, use the OTInitDDPNBPAddress function (page 10-23).
