unsigned_char_t ∗entry_name ,
unsigned32 ∗status );

entry_nameSpecifies the name of the entry to create.  This can be either the global or cell-relative name.

rpc_s_okSuccess. 

rpc_s_entry_already_existsName service entry already exists. 

rpc_s_incomplete_nameIncomplete name. 

rpc_s_invalid_name_syntaxInvalid name syntax.

DESCRIPTION

The rpc_ns_mgmt_entry_create routine creates an entry in the name service database. 

A management application can call rpc_ns_mgmt_entry_create to create an entry in the name service database for use by another application that does not itself have the necessary name service permissions to create an entry. 

Permissions Required

You need both read permission and write permission to the CDS object entry (the target name service entry).  You also need insert permission to the parent directory. 

NOTE:

For this release, the RPC naming service (rpc_ns) routines are not implemented, nor is an independent naming service provided. 

RETURN VALUES

None.
