NNETBINCL()
Closes a bindery
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
NNETBINCL([<cServer>|<nConId>]) --> lSuccess
Netware: 2.2 and 3.11
Arguments
<cServer> Designates the name of the file server where the bindery
is closed. Your workstation must be attached to <cServer>.
<nConId> Designates the connection ID of your workstation on
<cServer>.
Returns
NNETBINCL() returns .T. if the bindery has been closed successfully.
Description
Important! NNETBINCL() is a low level bindery function and should
be used only with extensive knowledge of the bindery concept and the
Novell API.
NOVELL NET BINDERY CLOSE
Under Netware, the bindery is physically organized as two files,
NET$BIND.SYS and NET$BVAL.SYS. These files are hidden files in the
SYS:SYSTEM directory. During network operation these files are
exclusively open and cannot be accessed directly. For example, to
archive the bindery files, the bindery must be closed. The bindery can
be closed with the NETBINCL() function, but supervisor rights are
required.
With the parameters <cServer> or <nConId>, the bindery can be closed on
any attached file server. The connection ID of a file server can be
determined with the functions NNETATTACH() or NNETLOGIN().
Important! While the bindery is closed, much of the network is not
functional. The bindery should not be closed if another user is logged
in. The time that the bindery is closed should be kept to a minimum.
Example
In the following example, drive K: is mapped to the SYS:SYSTEM directory
of the current file server. If the bindery has been closed
successfully, the bindery files are copied to a local drive with the
FILECOPY() function. After the FILECOPY(), the bindery is reopened with
the NNETBINOP() function:
IF NNETBINCL()
FILECOPY('K:NET$BIND.SYS','C:\NET$BIND.SYS')
FILECOPY('K:NET$BVAL.SYS','C:\NET$BVAL.SYS')
NNETBINOP()
ELSE
? 'Bindery could not be closed!'
ENDIF
