OSStatus InitOpenTransportUtilities(void);

C++ INTERFACE

PARAMETERS

function result

A return value other than kOTNoError indicates that the Open Transport is not installed.

DISCUSSION

If you have called the function InitOpenTransport, you do not need to call the InitOpenTransportUtilities function.

Call the InitOpenTransportUtilities function before calling Open Transport functions that manipulate ports or before calling Open Transport utility functions.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

If your program uses the Apple Shared Library Manager (ASLM), you must call the InitLibraryManager function to initialize ASLM before calling the InitOpenTransportUtilities function.
