socket_set_nv_name

The socket_set_nv_name function sets the IPXPROTO process name.

*pName

points to a null-terminated character string containing the process name of the

IPXPROTO process that is to be accessed by subsequent calls to socket or

socket_nw.

Errors

No errors are returned for this function.

Usage Guidelines

The socket or socket_nw function opens the IPXROTO process by name; therefore,

the function must know the name of this process. If your program calls the

socket_set_nv_name function before calling the socket or socket_nw function,

the socket library opens the process you specify.

If your program does not call socket_set_nv_name, the socket library opens the

process with the name defined for TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME. If a defined name does not

exist, the socket library uses the process name $ZTC0.
