These APIs provide the means to choose the transport on which an application should run.
These APIs require that *STMF /etc/netconfig file exist on the system. If the netconfig file does not exist in the /etc directory, the user must copy it from /QIBM/ProdData/OS400/RPC directory. The netconfig file is always in the /QIBM/ProdData/OS400/RPC directory.
| API | Description |
|---|---|
| endnetconfig() | Releases the pointer to the records stored in the netconfig file |
| freenetconfigent() | Frees the netconfig structure that is returned from the call to the getnetconfigent() function |
| getnetconfig() | Returns the pointer to the current record in the netconfig file and increments its pointer to the next record |
| getnetconfigent() | Returns the pointer to the netconfig structure that corresponds to the input netid |
| setnetconfig() | Initializes the record pointer to the first entry in the netconfig file. The setnetconfig() function must be used before the first use of getnetconfig() function. The setnetconfig() function returns a unique handle (a pointer to the records stored in the netconfig file) to be used by the getnetconfig() function. |
