WSAInstallServiceClassA

The WSAInstallServiceClass function registers a service class schema within a namespace. This schema includes the class name, class identifier, and any namespace-specific information that is common to all instances of the service, such as the SAP identifier or object identifier.

Syntax

INT WSAInstallServiceClassA(
         LPWSASERVICECLASSINFOA lpServiceClassInfo
)  

Parameters

lpServiceClassInfo
Type: LPWSASERVICECLASSINFOA 

[in] Service class to namespace specific–type mapping information. Multiple mappings can be handled at one time.

Return value

Type: INT 

The return value is zero if the operation was successful. Otherwise, the value SOCKET_ERROR is returned, and a specific error number can be retrieved by calling WSAGetLastError.
