The OTConfiguration Structure

Open Transport functions that open a provider take as a parameter a pointer to a configuration structure that specifies the configuration of that provider. For example, the configuration structure of an endpoint specifies which protocol modules the endpoint uses. To create a configuration structure and obtain a pointer to it, you call the function OTCreateConfiguration. To make a copy of a configuration structure, you call the function OTCloneConfiguration.

The contents of the OTConfiguration structure are private and so is the OTConfiguration data type that defines it.

struct OTConfiguration;
typedef struct OTConfiguration OTConfiguration;

See "Error Constants" for values that can be returned if the configuration was not successful.
