Declaration

- (BOOL) registerPort:(NSPort *) port name:(NSString *) name;

Parameters

  • port:

    The port to make available.

  • name:

    The name for the port.

Discussion

A port can be registered under multiple names. If it is, it must be unregistered for each name with removePortForName: to make it completely unavailable.
