LAPOpenProtocol

Add the specified ALAP protocol type

#include <AppleTalk.h> AppleTalk Manager

OSErr LAPOpenProtocol( theLAPType, protoPtr);

ABByte theLAPType; protocol type specification.

Ptr protoPtr; pointer to a protocol handler

returns Error Code; 0=no error

LAPOpenProtocol is part of the AppleTalk alternate interface. It is

recommended that you use the preferred call, PAttachPH instead.

LAPOpenProtocol adds the ALAP protocol type specified by theLAPType to

the node's protocol table.

theLAPType specifies the ALAP protocol to be added.

protoPtr is a pointer to a protocol handler.

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

noErr (0) No error

lapProtErr (-94) Error attaching protocol type.

Notes: If you provide a pointer to a protocol handler in protoPtr, ALAP will send

each frame with an ALAP protocol type of theLAPType to that protocol

handler.

If protoPtr is NIL, the default protocol handler will be used for receiving

frames with an ALAP protocol type of theLAPType. In this case, to receive

a frame you must call LAPRead to provide the default protocol handler with

a buffer for placing the data. If, however, you've written your own protocol

handler and protoPtr points to it, your protocol handler will have the

responsibility for receiving the frame and it's not necessary to call
