Defined Constants

The AFTP API has a number of calls that take buffers as parameters. Each buffer is used by one or more entry points and has a required minimum size that is defined by a constant in the AFTP API header file. (On Microsoft® Windows NT® and Microsoft® Windows® 95, this header file is called APPFFTP.H.)

The following table provides information about these buffer parameters.

The first column shows the entry points that take buffers as parameters.
The second column shows the buffer used by each entry point.
The third column shows the constant defining the minimum buffer size.
The fourth column shows the minimum size.
