The DCE RPC runtime provides the following communications operations for RPC applications:
· Managing communications for RPC applications
As part of server initialization, a server sets up its communications capabilities by a series of calls to the RPC runtime. These runtime calls register the server's RPC interfaces, tell the RPC runtime what combination of communications protocols to use for the server, and register the endpoints of the server for each of its interfaces. After completing these and any other initialization tasks, the server tells the runtime to begin listening for incoming calls.
· Managing binding information
A variety of communications operations allow servers to access and manipulate binding information. In addition, a set of communications operations enables applications to manipulate string representations of binding information (string bindings).
