DDPOpenSocket

Add a socket and its listener to the table

#include <AppleTalk.h> AppleTalk Manager

OSErr DDPOpenSocket( theSocket, sktListener);

short * theSocket; pointer to a socket number

Ptr sktListener; pointer to a socket listener

returns Error Code; 0=no error

DDPOpenSocket is part of the AppleTalk alternate interface. It is

recommended that you use the preferred call, POpenSkt instead.

DDPOpenSocket adds a socket and its socket listener to the socket table

theSocket is a pointer to the socket number If theSocket is nonZero, it must be

in the range 64 to 127, and it specifies the socket's number; if

theSocket is 0, DDPOpenSocket dynamically assigns a socket

number in the range 128 to 254, and returns it in theSocket.

sktListener contains a pointer to the socket listener; if it's NIL, the default

listener will be used.

Returns: an operating system Error Code. It will be one of:

noErr (0) No error

ddpSktErr (-91) Socket error

Notes: If you're using the default socket listener, you must then call DDPRead to

receive a datagram (in order to specify buffer space for the default socket

listener). If, however, you've written your own socket listener and

sktListner points to it, your listener will provide buffers for receiving

datagrams and you should not use DDPRead calls.

DDPOpenSocket will return ddpSktErr if you pass the number of an

already opened socket, if you pass a socket number greater than 127, or if

the socket table is full.

The range of static socket numbers 1 through 63 is reserved by Apple for

internal use. Socket numbers 64 through 127 are available for

unrestricted experimental use.
