Creating NetBIOS sessions

To establish a session with another host on the network:

1. Open the transport endpoint (with t_open) using the device name of a connection-oriented NetBIOS transport provider in the name parameter.

   • for SCO TCP/NetBIOS, use /dev/nbcots

   • for NetBEUI, use /dev/netbeui

2. If you are writing a client, specify the name of the server it will contact in the call to t_connect. If you are writing a server, specify the name assigned to the server in the call to t_bind.
