DSENetAddress

Contains a network address associated with a DSEvent.

Service:eDirectory Event
Defined In:nwdsevnt.h

Structure

    typedef struct 
    { 
       uint32   type ; 
       uint32   length ; 
       uint8    data [1]; 
    } DSENetAddress;

Fields

type: Specifies the type of the address.
length: Specifies the number of bytes in which the address is stored.
data: Specifies the place where the network address is stored.

Remarks

type can have the following values:

NT_IPX
NT_IP
NT_SDLC
NT_TOKENRING_ETHERNET
NT_OSI
NT_APPLETALK
NT_COUNT

The address is stored as a binary string. This string is the literal value of the address. To display it as a hexadecimal value, you must convert each 4-bit nibble to the correct character (0,1,2,3,...F).

For two net addresses to match, the type, length, and value of the addresses must match.
