QsyGetEIMHandle()--Get EIM Handle Connected For System

 #include <qsyeimapi.h>

 #include <eim.h>

 int QsyGetEIMHandle(EimHandle      * eim,,
                          EimRc      * eimrc)
 

The QsyGetEIMHandle() function is used to allocate an EimHandle structure that is connected to EIM. The EIM host information used will be the ldapURL information set by the eimSetConfiguration() API. The connection information used will be the connectInfo set by the QsySetEIMConnectInfo() API. The EimHandle structure should be passed on subsequent calls to other EIM operations. When the handle is no longer needed, it should be destroyed by calling eimDestroyHandle() function.

Parameters

eim  (Output)

The pointer to an EIM handle to be returned. This handle is used as input for other EIM APIs. The handle is temporary; you can use it only in the job that created it.

eimrc

(Input/Output)

The structure in which to return error code information. If the return value is not 0, eimrc is set with additional information. This parameter may be NULL. For the format of the structure, see EimRC--EIM Return Code Parameter.
