"APSCommonServices.h"

Introduction

APIs for getting information about the system, such as device name, model, etc.

GetDeviceModelString: Gets the model string for the device (e.g. "Device1,1").
GetDeviceName: Gets the most user-friendly name available for the device.
GetPlatformMaxSocketBufferSize: Gets the maximum socket buffer size.

Gets the model string for the device (e.g. "Device1,1").

char * GetDeviceModelString(
    char *inBuf,
    size_t inMaxLen );

inBuf: Buffer to receive device model string. Must be at least inMaxLen bytes (includes null terminator).
inMaxLen: Number of bytes "inBuf" can hold. Includes the null terminator.

Pointer to "inBuf".

Gets the most user-friendly name available for the device.

char * GetDeviceName(
    char *inBuf,
    size_t inMaxLen );

inBuf: Buffer to receive device name. Must be at least inMaxLen bytes (includes null terminator).
inMaxLen: Number of bytes "inBuf" can hold. Includes the null terminator.

Pointer to "inBuf" or a constant, empty string if "inMaxLen" is 0.

Gets the maximum socket buffer size.

int GetPlatformMaxSocketBufferSize(
    int direction );

direction: direction for which size is being requested 1=for receiving data, 0=for sending data

returns the maximum socket buffer size for the requested direction.
