NBPLookup is part of the AppleTalk alternate interface. It is recommended

that you use the preferred call, PLookupName instead.

NBPLookup returns the addresses of all entities with a specified name.

abRecord is a handle to an ATNBPRec structure. The relevant fields are as

¨ abOpcode ABCallType 1 0 Always tNBPLookup

Æ nbpEntityPtr Ptr 4 0 Pointer to entity name

Æ nbpBufSize short 2 8 Buffersize in bytes

ÆnbpDataField short 2 10 Number of addresses received

ÆnbpRetransmitInfo RetransType 2 16 Retransmission information

async is a Boolean value. Use FALSE for normal ( synchronous) operation

or TRUE to enqueue the request and resume control immediately. See

Notes: NBPLookup returns the addresses of all entities with a specified name.

NBPEntityPtr points to a variable of type EntityName containing the name

of the entity whose address should be returned. (Meta- characters are

allowed in the entity name.) NBPBufPtr and nbpBufSize contain the location

and size of an area of memory in which the entity names and their

corresponding addresses should be returned. NBPDataField indicates the

maximum number of matching names to find addresses for; the actual

number of addresses found is returned in nbpDataField. NBPRetransmitInfo

contains the retry interval and the retry count.

When specifying nbpBufSize, for each NBP tuple expected, allow space for

the actual characters of the name, the address, and four bytes for use by
