Developing applications over NetBIOS using XTI

Developing applications over NetBIOS using XTI

This section assumes you already know how to use the X/Open Transport Interface (XTI) over a non-NetBIOS transport provider. If not, read ``Programming with the X/Open Transport Interface (XTI)'' before reading the following sections. When you write a client or server application using XTI to run over a NetBIOS transport provider, you use the same functions as you would for any other transport provider, except:

All NetBIOS providers support the same transport address syntax. For more information, see ``NetBIOS names and addresses''.
Some of the functions behave in special ways when used to access a NetBIOS provider. For more information, see ``How XTI functions behave differently over NetBIOS''.
