To register the server with DCE, the server calls the following:
dce_server_register(
dce_server_c_ns_export, /* flag says register */
server_conf, /* server with CDS */
®ister_data,
&server_handle,
&status
);
The dce_server_register( ) routine affects a number of components and services in DCE including the RPC runtime, the local endpoint mapper service, and if the dce_server_c_ns_export flag is set, even the CDS namespace. The server_conf structure is obtained with a call to the dce_server_inq_server( ) routine and represents the configuration dced used to start the server. This contains information needed to register the server too. The register_data structure contains data about the server's interfaces, entry point vectors, and type UUIDs.
The following subtopics describe the details about what happens when you register a server.
