Identification Functions

The functions in this section are used by SNA Server Setup and by the NCPA to gather information about this script and the options it manages.

Identify

This function is called only by the NCPA and returns the most basic information about this script. It tells the NCPA what type of option this script installs as well as the media it requires. The NCPA expects the option type returned by this function to represent all of the options in this script. The setup scripts here will use the most generic type, NetService.

Return Options

This function returns a list of the options supported by this script and their appropriate text strings. The text is assumed to be language-dependent and will be drawn from one of the OptionsText sections.

Return SNA Options

This is SNA Server Setup's parallel function to the Return Options function. It returns only those options that SNA Server should display to the user. These are specified in the initialization section.

Return SNA Additionals

This function takes as a parameter the option it should query and returns the list of additional components for that option. It also returns a list of the text strings for those additional components.
