Inside Macintosh: Networking With Open Transport / Part 2 - Open Transport Reference

Chapter 26 - Ports Reference / Functions

OTUnregisterPort
Unregisters a port.

C INTERFACE
OSStatus OTUnregisterPort(const char* portName,
                     void**);
C++ INTERFACE
None. C++ applications use the C interface to this function.

PARAMETERS

portName
The name of the port you want to unregister.
function result
See Appendix B.

DISCUSSION
If you re-register the port, it might get a different name. Use OTChangePortState function if that is not desirable. Because a single OTPortRef can be registered with several names, Open Transport needs to use the portName rather than the OTPortRef to disambiguate.
