grouping. See the OSI/FTAM Programming Guide.
** Valid in any regime.
Procedure Call Descriptions
Figure 4-1 on page 4-10 shows the syntax notation used to describe procedure calls in
this manual. This notation gives the syntax for calling the procedures from TAL
programs. For information about calling procedures from C programs, refer to the
C/C++ Programmer’s Guide. Figure 4-1 on page 4-10, the remainder of this section
provides the syntax and semantics of all the FTM procedures.
The procedure descriptions are first organized alphabetically according to the middle
word or words identifying the main function of the procedure. For example, the
FTM_CANCEL _xxx procedures are described before the FTM_CREATE_xxx
procedures, and the FTM_FILE_CLOSE_xxx procedures, before the
FTM_FILE_OPEN_xxx procedures. A group of procedures with the same main
function are then arranged in the order in which an application would typically call
them: REQ procedures, CNF procedures, IND procedures, and RSP procedures. Only
for the cancel function does the FTAM API provide procedures from all four categories
of procedures; most of the FTAM API functions require only request and confirm
procedures.
