Unsupported PC NetBIOS services
XTI over NetBIOS does not provide
user-level applications with interfaces for accessing the
following services that are available with
PC NetBIOS:
-
obtaining PC NetBIOS final return codes
(such as Invalid Buffer Length,
Invalid Command,
Illegal Name Number, and so forth)
-
receiving data on any session
-
receiving a datagram from any sender
-
automatically executing a post routine after a command
called in non-blocking mode has finished executing
-
defining a permanent node name
-
setting a send or receive timeout on an individual session
-
the LAN STATUS ALERT command
-
the RESET command
-
the TRACE command
-
the UNLINK command
-
the RPL command
-
the FIND NAME command
-
the SEND NOACK command
-
the CHAIN SEND NOACK command
-
the CANCEL command
-
the ADAPTER STATUS command
-
the SESSION STATUS command
However, you can obtain adapter status
(both remote and local) and session
status information by using the appropriate ioctl.
See
``Obtaining session and adapter status''
for more information.
Although you cannot set send and receive timeouts for an
individual session,
your NetBIOS transport provider may allow
you to configure send
and receive timeouts for all sessions over that provider.
For information, see the documentation supplied with your
NetBIOS transport.
