- When you refer to object identifiers in your application, you need to
- be aware that SR and Z39.50 use two different set of OIDs to refer to
- the same objects. To handle this easily, &yaz; provides a utility module
- to &asn; which provides an internal representation of the OIDs used in
- both protocols. Each oid is described by a structure:
- </para>
-
- <screen>
-typedef struct oident
-{
- enum oid_proto proto;
- enum oid_class class;
- enum oid_value value;
- int oidsuffix[OID_SIZE];
- char *desc;
-} oident;
- </screen>
-
- <para>
- The <literal>proto</literal> field can be set to either
- <literal>PROTO_SR</literal> or <literal>PROTO_Z3950</literal>.
- The <literal>class</literal> might be, say,
- <literal>CLASS_RECSYN</literal>, and the <literal>value</literal> might be
- <literal>VAL_USMARC</literal> for the USMARC record format. Functions
- </para>
-
- <screen>
-int *oid_ent_to_oid(struct oident *ent, int *dst);
-struct oident *oid_getentbyoid(int *o);
- </screen>
-
- <para>
- are provided to map between object identifiers and database entries.
- If you store a member of the <literal>oid_proto</literal> type in
- your association state information, it's a simple matter, at runtime,
- to generate the correct OID when you need it. For decoding, you can
- simply ignore the proto field, or if you're strict, you can verify
- that your peer is using the OID family from the correct protocol.
- The <literal>desc</literal> field is a short, human-readable name
- for the PDU, useful mainly for diagnostic output.
- </para>
-
- <note>
- <para>
- The old function <function>oid_getoidbyent</function> still exists but
- is not thread safe. Use <function>oid_ent_to_oid</function> instead
- and pass an array of size <literal>OID_SIZE</literal>.
- </para>
- </note>
-
- <note>
- <para>
- Plans are underway to merge the two protocols into a single
- definition, with one set of object identifiers. When this happens, the
- oid module will no longer be required to support protocol
- independence, but it should still be useful as a simple OID database.
