Targeted for the distributed application program. Provides conceptual and task-oriented information for developing an appl. with DCE. Describes DCE naming and acces to CDS through XDS.
OSF's Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) is a blend of technologies from worldwide industry leaders - Hewlett Packard, Digital Equipment Corporation, Siemens and Transarc. It is a fully-integrated set of services that supports the development, use and maintenance of distributed applications, and enables applications to harness effectively the unused power found in many networks. With OSF DCE, users can obtain the maximum value from their installed networks, while providing operating system and network independence, and an architecture designed to incorporate new technologies as they become available.

Provides information about how to program the Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provided for each OSF Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) componet.
This manual provides reference material for the DCE programming interfaces. It also has command references for a few commands needed by the DCE programmer; in particular, those familiar with the RPC component.
The first how-to guide to designing and implementing a distributed system using OSF DCE standards. This book/disk package provides a detailed introduction to OSF DCE and each of its major components. The informal writing tone--UNIX jargon is specifically avoided--makes the significant new guide easy to use and understand.
This new edition has been extended to include object Universal Unique Identifiers (UUID) and security. It provides programmers with step-by-step instructions through the complexities of Distributed Computing Environment (DCE). Topics include how to write clients and servers, the Interface Definition Language, interaction between programs and name services, use of pointers and arrays, context handles, and managing large quantities of data with pipes. Quick reference materials are also included. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
