NAME

rpc_binding_to_string_binding — Returns a string representation of a binding handle;  used by client, server, or management applications

Synopsis

void rpc_binding_to_string_binding(
rpc_binding_handle_t binding,
unsigned_char_t ∗∗string_binding,
unsigned32 ∗status);

Parameters

Input

bindingSpecifies a client or server binding handle to convert to a string representation of a binding handle. 

Output

string_binding
Returns a pointer to the string representation of the binding handle specified in the binding parameter. 

statusReturns the status code from this routine.  This status code indicates whether the routine completed successfully or, if not, why not. 

Description

The rpc_binding_to_string_binding() routine converts a client or server binding handle to its string representation. 

The RPC runtime allocates memory for the string returned in the string_binding parameter.  The application calls the rpc_string_free() routine to deallocate that memory. 

If the binding handle in the binding parameter contains a nil object UUID, the object UUID field is not included in the returned string. 

To parse the returned string_binding parameter, call rpc_string_binding_parse(). 

Return Values

No value is returned.

rpc_s_ok
Success.

rpc_s_cant_getpeername

rpc_s_connection_closed
