BSCLIB API Function Calls

The BSCLIB API provides the functions listed below to control the communications process. This function calls are by way of a Bisync Control Block (BCB). A sample program which demonstrates each of these functions is included with the BSCLIB software development kit (SDK). The BSCLIB API calls are 100% compatible across all supported hardware and software platforms. For real-time and interactive applications, BSCLIB is designed to immediately return control to your application after an API function is called. This allows your application to continue while BSCLIB processes the request.
