NAME
dced_intro - Introduction to the DCE Host daemon routines
DESCRIPTION
This introduces the DCE Host Daemon application programming interface:
the dced API. This API gives management applications remote access to
various data, servers, and services on DCE hosts. Servers manage their
own configuration in the local dced by using the routines starting with
dce_server, introduced in the dce_server_intro reference page.
THE DCED API NAMING CONVENTIONS
All of the dced API routine names begin with the dced_ prefix. This
API contains some specialized routines that operate on services
represented by the following keywords in the routine names:
hostdata The host data management service stores host-specific data
such as the host name, the host's cell name, and other data,
and it provides access to these data items.
server The server control service configures, starts, and stops
servers, among other things. Applications must distinguish
two general states of server control: server configuration
(srvrconf) and server execution (srvrexec).
secval The security validation service maintains a host's principal
identity and ensures applications that the DCE Security
daemon is genuine.
keytab The key table management service remotely manages key tables.
The dced also provides the endpoint mapper service which has
its own API, described with the RPC API. These routines
begin with rpc_ep and rpc_mgmt_ep.
Since some of the dced daemon's services require the same operations
(but on different data types), the dced API also contains generic
routines that may operate on more than one of the above services.
For example, you use the routine dced_object_read() to read a data
item (object) from the hostdata, srvrconf, srvrexec, or keytab services.
