kc_transfer_syntax_str - Transfer syntax for communication via OSI TP

The data structure kc_transfer_syntax_str is defined for object type KC_TRANSFER_SYNTAX. In the case of KC_GET_OBJECT, UTM returns the local name and the object identifier of a transfer syntax in kc_transfer_syntax_str.
During communication via OSI TP the transfer syntax specifies in which form the user data is transferred to the communication partner. Both communication partners must use the same transfer syntax on a connection.

Data structure kc_transfer_syntax_str

char transfer_syntax_name[8];

char object_id[10][8];

The fields of the data structure have the following meanings:

transfer_syntax_name

Contains the name generated locally for the transfer syntax. It is at most 8 characters long.

object_id

Contains the object identifier of the transfer syntax.

The object identifier consists of at least 2 and at most 10 components. The individual components are positive integers between 0 and 67108863.

For each component of the object identifier, UTM returns a field element, i.e. the number of occupied field elements in object_id corresponds to the number of components. The remaining field elements contain binary zeros.

For further information on the object identifier see the openUTM manual “Generating Applications”.
