This section provides an alphabetical reference to the TCAP service functions. A prototype of each function is shown with the function description and details of all arguments and return values. A typical function includes:
Prototype |
The prototype is followed by a listing of the function arguments. NMS data types include:
If a function argument is a data structure, the complete data structure is shown. Note: Not all parameters are applicable to both ANSI and ITU-T (CCITT) networks. |
Return values |
The return value for a function is either TCAP_SUCCESS or an error code. For asynchronous functions, a return value of TCAP_SUCCESS (zero) indicates the function was initiated; subsequent events indicate the status of the operation. |
Use of the TCAP service functions requires the prior installation of the SCCP layer package, particularly the sccpapi.h file, which defines data structures and constants required for TCAP applications.
