The List Network Connections (QtocLstNetCnn) API returns a non-detailed list of all network connections, or a subset of all network connections for a specified network connection type. With each call to this API you can request IPv4 or IPv6 connections, but not both at the same time.
TCP/IP must be active on this system; otherwise error message TCP84C0 will be issued.
The user space that is to receive the created list. The first 10 characters contain the user space name; the second 10 characters contain the name of the library in which the user space is located. You can use these special values for the library name:
| *CURLIB | The job's current library |
| *LIBL | The library list |
The format of the space information to be returned. The format name supported is:
| NCNN0100 | Non-detailed list of selected TCP/IPv4 local system connections. Refer to NCNN0100 Format for details on the format. |
| NCNN0200 | Non-detailed list of selected TCP/IPv6 local system connections. Refer to NCNN0200 Format for details on the format. |
A restriction on the network connections to be listed.
The size in bytes of the connection list qualifier parameter.
The format of the connection list qualifier parameter. The format name supported is:
| NCLQ0100 | IPv4 connection list qualifier. Refer to NCLQ0100 Format for details on the format. |
| NCLQ0200 | IPv6 connection list qualifier. Refer to NCLQ0200 Format for details on the format. |
The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error Code Parameter.
To request a non-detailed list of local system connections, use format NCNN0100.
The connection description list consists of:
For details about the user area and generic header, see User Space Format for List APIs. For details about the remaining items, see the following sections.
When you retrieve list entry information from a user space, you must use the entry size returned in the generic header. The size of each entry may be padded at the end. If you do not use the entry size, the result may not be valid. For examples of how to process lists, see API Examples.
