Service Provider Layer API

This chapter lists and describes the API functions exported by public modules and consumed by the Framework Configuration Layer. The functions are grouped in sections according to their purpose. Within each section, functions are listed in an order in which you might use them.

The following topics are included:

• General Data Store Functions

• dhcptab Functions

• DHCP Network Container Functions

• Generic Error Codes

All implementations that match a certain Service Provider Layer API version must follow this specification for the API functions they implement. Later versions of the API must be backward-compatible with earlier versions. This means that additional API calls may be added, but existing ones cannot be changed or deleted.

See the include file /usr/include/dhcp_svc_public.h for more details about the functions.
