clientContextPtr

A value set by the application for its own use.
mgrContextPtr

A value set by the Network Services Location Manager for its own use.
resultBuffer

A pointer to the buffer that contains search results when your application’s notification routine is called.
bufferLen

The number of bytes in resultBuffer that contain valid data.
maxBufferSize

The length of resultBuffer.
startTime

Used by the Network Services Location Manager for internal purposes. Your application should not modify this field.
intStartTime

Used by the Network Services Location Manager for internal purposes. Your application should not modify this field.
maxSearchTime

An application-specified limit in ticks on the total amount of time that is to be expended on the search. The default value is zero, which indicates that the search time is not to be limited. The value of maxSearchTime does not override any limit that Mac OS X may impose.
alertInterval

An application-specified value that defines in ticks the interval at which the application’s notification routine is to be called. The default value is zero, which indicates that no alert interval is specified.
totalItems

The total number of items in resultBuffer.
alertThreshold

An application-specified value that causes the application’s notification routine to be called whenever the specified number of items have been placed in resultBuffer. Typically, applications set alertThreshold to 1.
searchState

A value that describes the current search state. The value can be one of the following: kNSLSearchStateBufferFull, kNSLSearchStateOnGoing, kNSLSearchStateComplete, or kNSLSearchStateStalled.
searchResult

An NSLError structure containing an error code that may have been returned.
searchDataType

An event code that indicates whether the information stored in this NSLClientAsyncInfo structure pertains to a neighborhood search (kNSLNeighborhoodLookupDataEvent) or a service search (kNSLServicesLookupDataEvent).
Discussion

This structure contains information about how a neighborhood or a service search is to be conducted and where search results are to be stored. You obtain a pointer to an NSLClientAsyncInfo structure by calling NSLPrepareRequest, and you pass that pointer as a parameter when you call NSLStartNeighborhoodLookup, or NSLStartServicesLookup.

Before calling NSLStartNeighborhoodLookup or NSLStartServicesLookup, you can modify the way in which the search is conducted by changing certain values in the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure. However, once you call NSLStartNeighborhoodLookup or NSLStartServicesLookup, you should not modify the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure.

When NSLStartNeighborhoodLookup or NSLStartServicesLookup returns, or when your application’s notification routine is called, the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure contains information about the status of the search and any search results.

Parameters
function result

TRUE if the Network Services Location Manager is present.
Discussion

Parameters
theClient

On input, a value of type NSLClientRef, obtained by previously calling NSLOpenNavigationAPI, that identifies the session that is to be closed.
Discussion

This function closes the Network Services Location Manager session identified by theClient. If your application calls this function while a search is in progress, any data that would have been returned is lost.
Special Considerations

Your application is responsible for reclaiming memory that it allocates for services lists, parameter blocks, and search request references. Your application should reclaim memory by calling NSLDisposeServicesList, NSLDeleteRequest, and NSLFreeTypedDataPtr, respectively.

Parameters
name

On input, NULL to create a neighborhood that can be used to obtain a list of default neighborhoods when calling NSLStartNeighborhoodLookup, or a pointer to a null-terminated string containing the name of a neighborhood in which searches are to be conducted.
protocolList

On input, NULL, which creates a neighborhood that will cause all available protocols to participate in any search that uses it. For compatibility with earlier versions of the Network Services Location Manager, protocolList can be a pointer to a comma-separated, null-terminated list of protocols (such as NBP,SLP) that are to participate in a search conducted with the resulting neighborhood. The constants kDSProtocolType, kNBPProtocolType, and kSLPProtocolType can be used to build a protocol list. However, searches conducted using the resulting neighborhood will not be limited to the protocols that were specified.
function result

An NSLNeighborhood value that can be used in subsequent calls to Network Services Location Manager functions, or NULL if a neighborhood value could not be created. This might happen, for example, if there is not enough memory.
Discussion

This utility function creates a neighborhood that can be provided as a parameter to other Network Services Location Manager functions such as NSLStartNeighborhoodLookup, NSLStartServicesLookup, NSLStandardRegisterURL, and NSLStandardDeregisterURL.

When you have no further use for a neighborhood, you can reclaim the memory allocated to it by calling NSLFreeNeighborhood.
Special Considerations

Specifying protocols in the protocolList parameter is deprecated. If you specify protocols when other protocols are available, any use of the resulting neighborhood will not be limited to the protocols you specified.

Parameters
theList

On input, a value of type NSLServicesList, previously created by calling NSLMakeNewServicesList, that is to be disposed of.
Discussion

This utility function reclaims memory by disposing of a services list. Once you’ve incorporated the information in a services list into a request parameter block by passing the services list to NSLMakeServicesRequestPB, you can dispose of the services list. 

Calling NSLCloseNavigationAPI does not reclaim memory allocated for services lists, so your application should dispose of services lists before it closes a Network Services Location Manager session.

Parameters
ref

On input, the value of type NSLRequestRef, obtained by previously calling NSLPrepareRequest, that is to be deleted.
function result

An NSLError structure whose theErr field contains the result code. If the value of the theErr field is noErr, the request reference was deleted. Other possible values are kNSLNotInitialized and kNSLBadReferenceErr. Call NSLErrorToString to get a problem and a solution string.
Discussion

This function deletes the specified request reference and deallocates memory associated with it, including the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure associated with the request reference. If a search using the specified request reference is in progress when this function is called, the search is canceled and any outstanding I/O is lost.

Parameters
notifier

On input, a value of type NSLClientNotifyUPP that points to your application’s notification routine, or NULL. Your notification routine will be called when data is available, when the search is complete, or when an error occurs.
contextPtr

On input, an untyped pointer to arbitrary data that the Network Services Location Manager will pass to your application’s notification routine when that routine is called. Your application can use contextPtr to associate any particular execution of your notification routine with any particular search request.
theClient

On input, a value of type NSLClientRef obtained by previously calling NSLOpenNavigationAPI that identifies the Network Services Location Manager session for which this request is being prepared.
ref

On input, a pointer to a value of type NSLRequestRef in which the resulting search request reference is to be placed.
bufPtr

On input, a pointer to the buffer in which search results are to be placed.
bufLen

On input, the length of the buffer pointed to by bufPtr.
infoPtr

On output, the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure pointed to by infoPtr contains default instructions for how the search is to be conducted. Your application can change the defaults before it starts the search.
function result

An NSLError structure whose theErr field contains the result code. If the value of NSLError.theErr is noErr, the request was created. Other possible values include kNSLNotInitialized, kNSLDuplicateSearchInProgress, kNSLBadClientInfoPtr, and kNSLErrNullPtrError (if the value of infoPtr is NULL). Call NSLErrorToString to get a problem and a solution string.
Discussion

This function creates a search request that your application later provides as a parameter when it calls NSLStartNeighborhoodLookup or NSLStartServicesLookup. Searches are conducted asynchronously.

Your application’s notification routine will be called when the result buffer contains data, the result buffer is full, when the search is complete, or when an error occurs. Your application can cause your application’s notification routine to be called at a specified interval, when a specified number of items is in the result buffer, or when a specified amount of time has elapsed by modifying the value of the alertInterval, alertThreshold, and maxSearchTime fields, respectively, of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure pointed to by infoPtr.

If this function returns a result code of kNSLDuplicateSearchInProgress, a search is in progress that is using a request reference that is identical to the newly created request reference. Your application can ignore this warning and use the newly created request reference, delete the newly created request reference, or cancel the search that is using the identical request reference.
Special Considerations

When your application no longer needs the request reference, it should call NSLDeleteRequest to reclaim memory associated with it.

Parameters
ref

On input, a value of type NSLRequestRef created by previously calling NSLPrepareRequest.
neighborhood

On input, NULL or an NSLNeighborhood value created by previously calling NSLMakeNewNeighborhood. Passing NULL or a neighborhood parameter that was created with a name parameter whose value was NULL causes this function to get the default neighborhoods. If neighborhood was created with a value of name that is the name of a neighborhood, this function gets names related to that neighborhood. For example, if neighborhood was created with name set to “apple.com”, this function gets the subdomains of apple.com.
asyncInfo

On input, a pointer to an NSLClientAsyncInfo structure. Neighborhoods that are found will be stored in the structure’s resultBuffer field.
function result

An NSLError structure whose theErr field contains the result code. If the value of NSLError.theErr is noErr, this function successfully started a neighborhood search. Possible errors are kNSLNotInitialized, kNSLSearchAlreadyInProgress, kNSLNoPluginsForSearch, kNSLBufferTooSmallForData, and kNSLNullNeighborhoodPtr. Call NSLErrorToString to get a problem and a solution string.
Discussion

This function starts a search for neighborhoods that your application can use to define the scope of a subsequent service search. The result of the search is returned to your application in the resultBuffer field of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure pointed to by the asyncInfo parameter when the Network Services Location Manager calls your application’s notification routine. Call NSLGetNextNeighborhood to process the data in the result buffer. To cancel an ongoing search, call NSLCancelRequest. To delete a search request reference, call NSLDeleteRequest.

When the Network Services Location Manager calls your application’s notification routine, it should check the value of the searchState field of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure pointed to by the asyncInfo parameter. The searchState field will contain one of these values: kNSLSearchStateBufferFull, kNSLSearchStateOnGoing, kNSLSearchStateComplete, or kNSLSearchStateStalled.

If the value of the searchState field is kNSLSearchStatausBufferFull, your application’s notification routine should process the data returned in the resultBuffer field of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure and return.

If the value of the searchState field is kNSLSearchStateOnGoing, the threshold set by the value of the alertInterval field or the alertThreshold field of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure has been reached. Your application’s notification routine should process the data returned in the resultBuffer field of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure and return.

If the value of the searchState field is kNSLSearchStateComplete and the value of NSLError.theErr returned by NSLStartNeighborhoodLookup is noErr, the search is complete. Your application’s notification routine should process the data returned in resultBuffer and return. If the value of the searchState field is kNSLSearchStateComplete and the value of NSLError.theErr returned by NSLStartNeighborhoodLookup is not noErr, the error is a fatal error and the search has ended.

If the value of the searchState field is kNSLSearchStateStalled, the threshold set by the value of the alertInterval field or the maxSearchTime field of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure has been reached and there is no data in the result buffer. The Network Services Location Manager plug-ins that are processing this neighborhood search request are waiting to receive data from a server and may eventually time out. You can cancel the request by calling NSLCancelRequest.

If the value of NSLError.theErr returned by this function is kNSLBufferTooSmallForData, the value of the maxBufferSize field of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure is too small to hold data that would otherwise have been returned. Your notification routine can cancel the search, modify the size of the buffer, and restart the search, or it can ignore the error and return, thereby resuming the search even though some data has been lost.
Special Considerations

For any request reference, only one neighborhood or service search can be in progress at any one time.

If this function returns an error, the resultBuffer field of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure may still contain valid data that was collected before the error occurred. Your notification routine should process the data in the result buffer and return, thereby continuing the search.

/*NSLMakeNewServicesList

Creates a services list.

NSLServicesList NSLMakeNewServicesList (
char* initialServiceList);
Parameters
initialServiceList

On input, a pointer to a comma-delimited, null-terminated string of service names, such as http,ftp.
function result

A value of type NSLServicesList. This function returns NULL if it can’t create the services list because, for example, there is not enough memory or because the Network Services Location Manager is not initialized.
Discussion

This function creates a services list and fills it with the names of the services specified by the initialServiceList parameter. After creating the services list, you can add the names of additional services by calling NSLAddServiceToServicesList.
Special Considerations

Parameters
urlToDeregister

On input, a value of type NSLPath specifying the URL that is to be deregistered.
neighborhoodToDeregisterIn

On input, a value of type NSLNeighborhood specifying the neighborhood in which to deregister the service, or NULL. If NULL is specified, the Network Services Location Manager determines the neighborhood from which the service is deregistered.
function result

A value of noErr indicates that the service was deregistered. A value of kNSLBadURLSyntax indicates that the URL contains characters that are not allowed, such as spaces. To encode characters that are not allowed, call NSLHexEncodeText.
Discussion

This function deregisters the service specified by urlToDeregister. An application that registers services by calling NSLStandardRegisterURL should call this function as part of its standard shutdown procedure.
Special Considerations

/*NSLStartServicesLookup

Starts a search for services.

NSLError NSLStartServicesLookup (
NSLRequestRef ref,
NSLNeighborhood neighborhood,
NSLTypedDataPtr requestData,
NSLClientAsyncInfo *asyncInfo);
Parameters
ref

On input, a value of type NSLRequestRef containing a request reference obtained by previously calling NSLPrepareRequest.
neighborhood

On input, NULL or an NSLNeighborhood value created by previously calling NSLMakeNewNeighborhood. Passing NULL or a neighborhood created with a name parameter whose value was NULL causes this function to start a search for top-level services.
requestData

On input, a value of type NSLTypedDataPtr that describes the search parameters. To format requestData properly, call NSLMakeServicesRequestPB.
asyncInfo

On input, a pointer to a NSLClientAsyncInfo structure obtained by previously calling NSLPrepareRequest.
function result

An NSLError structure whose theErr field contains the result code. If the value of NSLError.theErr is noErr, this function successfully started a service search. Other possible values are kNSLNotInitialized, kNSLSearchAlreadyInProgress, kNSLNoPluginsForSearch, kNSLNullNeighborhoodPtr, and kNSLBufferTooSmallForData. Call NSLErrorToString to get a problem and a solution string.
Discussion

This function starts a service search. The result of the search is returned to your application in the resultBuffer field of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure pointed to by the asyncInfo parameter when the Network Services Location Manager calls your application’s notification routine. Call NSLGetNextURL to process the data in the result buffer. To cancel an ongoing search, call NSLCancelRequest. To delete a search request reference, call NSLDeleteRequest.

When the Network Services Location Manager calls your application’s notification routine, it should check the value of the searchState field of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure pointed to by the asyncInfo parameter. The searchState field will contain one of these values: kNSLSearchStateBufferFull, kNSLSearchStateOnGoing, kNSLSearchStateComplete, or kNSLSearchStateStalled.

If the value of the searchState field is kNSLSearchStatausBufferFull, your application’s notification routine should process the data in the resultBuffer field of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure and return.

If the value of the searchState field is kNSLSearchStateOnGoing, the threshold set by the value of the alertInterval field or the alertThreshold field of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure has been reached. Your application’s notification routine should process the data in the resultBuffer field and return.

If the value of the searchState field is kNSLSearchStateComplete and the value of NSLError.theErr returned by NSLStartServicesLookup is noErr, the search is complete. Your application’s notification routine should process the data returned in resultBuffer and return. If the value of the searchState field is kNSLSearchStateComplete and the value of NSLError.theErr returned by NSLStartServicesLookup is not noErr, the error is a fatal error and the search has ended.

If the value of the searchState field is kNSLSearchStateStalled, the threshold set by the value of the alertInterval field or the maxSearchTime field of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure has been reached and there is no data in the result buffer. The Network Services Location Manager plug-ins that are processing this request are waiting to receive data from a server and may eventually time out. You can cancel the request by calling NSLCancelRequest. If the value of the searchState field is noErr, your application’s notification routine should ignore the notification and return immediately, thereby resuming the search.

If the value of NSLError.theErr returned by this function is kNSLBufferTooSmallForData, the value of the maxBufferSize field of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure is too small to hold data that would otherwise have been placed in the result buffer. Your application’s notification routine can cancel the search, modify the size of the buffer, and start the lookup again, or it can ignore the error and return, thereby resuming the search even though some data has been lost.
Special Considerations

For any request reference, only one neighborhood or service search can be ongoing at any one time.

If this function returns an error, the resultBuffer field of the NSLClientAsyncInfo structure may still contain valid data that was collected before the error occurred. Your notification routine should process the data in the result buffer and return, thereby continuing the search.

/*NSLStandardRegisterURL

Registers the URL of a service.

OSStatus NSLStandardRegisterURL (
NSLPath urlToRegister,
NSLNeighborhood neighborhoodToRegisterIn);
Parameters
urlToRegister

On input, a value of type NSLPath specifying the URL to register.
neighborhoodToRegisterIn

On input, a value of type NSLNeighborhood specifying the neighborhood in which to register the service, or NULL. If NULL is specified, the Network Services Location Manager determines the neighborhood in which the URL is registered.
function result

A value of noErr indicates that the service was registered. A value of kNSLBadURLSyntax indicates that the URL contains characters that are not allowed, such as spaces. To encode characters that are not allowed, call NSLHexEncodeText.
Discussion

This function registers the specified URL with the Network Services Location Manager.

Applications that provide a network service typically call this function as part of their startup procedure. They also call NSLStandardDeregisterURL as part of their shutdown procedure.
Special Considerations

You do not have to call NSLOpenNavigationAPI before calling this function.

This function is available in version 1.1 and later of the Network Services Location Manager, and supersedes the NSLRegisterService function, which was provided in version 1.0.

/*NSLHexEncodeText

Encodes a portion of a URL.

OSStatus NSLHexEncodeText (
char* rawText,
UInt16 rawTextLen,
char* newTextBuffer,
UInt16* newTextBufferLen,
Boolean* textChanged);
Parameters
rawText

On input, a pointer to a character array containing the portion of a URL that is to be encoded. For example, if the URL is afp://17.221.40.66?NAME=Kevs G3, the portion of the URL that contains a character that is not allowed is Kevs G3. In this example, the space character is not allowed.
rawTextLen

On input, a value of type UInt16 containing the length in bytes of the rawText parameter.
newTextBuffer

On input, a pointer to a buffer. On output, the buffer contains the encoded text.
newTextBufferLen

On input, a pointer to a value of type UInt16. On output, newTextBufferLen points to the length of the encoded text in the buffer pointed to by newTextBuffer.
textChanged

On input, a pointer to a Boolean value. On output, textChanged points to a value that is TRUE if encoding occurred or that is FALSE if no encoding was required.
function result

A value of noErr indicates that this utility function returned successfully. See “Network Services Location Manager Result Codes” for other possible result codes.
Discussion

This utility function uses the US ASCII character set to encode characters that are not allowed in URLs. Hexadecimal values from 01 to 1F, from 80 to FF, and 7F are not allowed. In addition, the following characters are not allowed:

< > " # { } | \ ^ ~ [ ]

This utility function also encodes the following characters that are reserved for URL syntax:

; / ? : @ = % &

If this utility function returns noErr, the buffer pointed to by newTextBuffer contains the encoded copy of the buffer pointed to by rawText, or it contains an exact copy of the buffer pointed to by rawText. Use the textChanged parameter to determine whether any encoding actually took place.

Call NSLHexDecodeText to decode a string that has been encoded.
Special Considerations

The NSLStandardRegisterURL function returns an error if a URL you try to register contains characters that need to be encoded.
