ChorusOS 5.0 Features and Architecture Overview

LAPBIND

The LAPBIND feature provides a nameserver from which a LAP descriptor may be requested and obtained indirectly, using a static symbolic name which may be an arbitrary character string. Using the nameserver, a LAP may be exported to any potential client that knows the symbolic name of the LAP (or of the service exported via the LAP).

The LAPBIND API is summarized below:
