To store the name, type, and zone parts of an NBP name in an NBP entity structure, use the OTSetNBPName function, the OTSetNBPType function, and the OTSetNBPZone function, respectively.

To extract the type and zone parts of an NBP name in an NBP entity structure, use the OTExtractNBPType function and the OTExtractNBPZone function, respectively.
