OTSetSynchronous

Sets a provider's mode of execution to synchronous.

C INTERFACE

OSStatus OTSetSynchronous(ProviderRef ref);

C++ INTERFACE

OSStatus TProvider::SetSynchronous();

PARAMETERS

ref

The provider reference of the provider whose mode of execution you want to set.

DESCRIPTION

The OTSetSynchronous function causes all provider functions to run synchronously when using the provider that you specify.

Changing a provider's mode of execution does not affect its notifier function, if any is installed for this provider; the notifier function remains installed.

SEE ALSO

Modes of execution and notifier functions are described in "Specifying How Provider Functions Execute" on page 2-9.

To set a provider to asynchronous mode, call the OTSetAsynchronous function, described next. To find out a provider's mode of execution, call the OTIsSynchronous function (page 2-30).
