IEEE Std 1327-1993 IEEE Standard for Information Technology— Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Abstract Data Manipulation C Language Interfaces—Binding for Application Program Interface (API) -Description
Abstract: A C programming language binding for the general-purpose OSI Abstract Data Manipulation (OM)Application Program Interface (API) in IEEE Std 1224-1993 is defined. This standard is intended for use by application developers, system implementors, test method writers, and users to support application portability at the source-code level. The API defined in this standard contains two major parts: an interface for accessing the services defined in the programming language independent specification, and an interface for language-specific services.
Keywords: abstract syntax notation, API, application portability, application program interface, ASN.1, C language, language binding, object management, open systems, open systems interconnection, OSI
