ATPOpenSocket

Open a socket to receive requests

#include <AppleTalk.h> AppleTalk Manager

OSErr ATPOpenSocket(addrRcvd , atpSocket);

AddrBlock addrRcvd; sockets from which requests are accepted

short * atpSocket; socket number

returns Error Code; 0=no error

ATPOpenSocket is part of the AppleTalk alternate interface. It is

recommended that you use the preferred call, POpenATPSkt instead.

ATPOpenSocket opens a socket for the purpose of receiving requests.

ATPSocket contains a pointer to the socket number of the socket to open; if the

socket number is 0, a number is dynamically assigned and returned in

atpSocket. AddrRcvd contains a filter of the sockets from which requests will

be accepted. A 0 in the network number, node ID, or socket number field of the

addrRcvd record acts as a "wild card"; for instance, a 0 in the socket number

field means that requests will be accepted from all sockets in the node(s)

specified by the network and node fields.

atpSocket contains the socket number of the socket to open.

addrRcvd contains a filter of the sockets from which requests will be accepted.

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

noErr (0) No error

tooManySkts (-1098) Socket table full

noDataArea (-1104) Too many outstanding ATP calls

Notes: If you're only going to send requests and receive responses to these

requests, you do not need to open an ATP socket. When you make the

ATPSndRequest or ATPRequest call, ATP automatically opens a

dynamically assigned socket for that purpose.
