rpc_server_inq_bindings(3rpc)
Returns binding handles for communications with a server
Used by server applications.
Synopsis
#include <dce/rpc.h>
void rpc_server_inq_bindings(
rpc_binding_vector_t **binding_vector,
unsigned32 *status);
Parameters
Input
None.
Output
binding_vector
Returns the address of a vector of server binding handles.
status
Returns the status code from this routine. This status code indicates whether the routine completed successfully or, if not, why not.
Description
The rpc_server_inq_bindings( ) routine obtains a vector of server binding handles. Binding handles are created by the RPC runtime when a server application
calls any of the following routines to register protocol sequences:
· rpc_server_use_all_protseqs( )
· rpc_server_use_all_protseqs_if( )
· rpc_server_use_protseq( )
· rpc_server_use_protseq_ep( )
· rpc_server_use_protseq_if( )
The returned binding vector can contain binding handles with dynamic endpoints and binding handles with well-known endpoints, depending on which of the preceding routines the server application called. The rpc_intro(3rpc) reference page contains an explanation of dynamic and well-known endpoints.
A server uses the vector of binding handles for exporting to the name service, for registering with the local endpoint map, or for conversion to string bindings.
If there are no binding handles (no registered protocol sequences), this routine returns the rpc_s_no_bindings status code and returns the value NULL to the binding_vector parameter.
The server is responsible for calling the rpc_binding_vector_free( ) routine to deallocate the memory used by the vector.
Return Values
No value is returned.
Errors

rpc_s_ok
Success.
