This topic describes the following aspects of the XOM service interface:
· The conformance of the DCE X/Open OSI-Abstract-Data Manipulation (XOM) implementation to the X/Open specification.
· The data types whose data values are the parameters and results of the functions that the service makes available to the client.
· An overview of the functions that the service makes available to the client. For a complete description of these functions, see the corresponding reference pages.
· The return codes that indicate the outcomes (in particular, the exceptions) that the functions can report.
See Sample Application Programs for examples of using the XOM interface.
