IEEE Std 1224.2-1993 IEEE Standard for Information Technology— Directory Services—Application Program Interface (API) [Language Independent] -Description

Abstract: A application program interface (API) to OSI directory services is defined in terms that are independent of any particular programming language. The interface, which supports applications portability at the source-code level, is intended to be used by both applications developers and directory service implementors.

Keywords: API, application portability, ASN.1, directory, open systems, portable application, POSIX
