Use of the directory by applications

Client-Library applications require a directory to connect to a server. When an application calls ct_connect, Client-Library looks up the server name in the directory and reads the necessary information to establish a connection to the server.

Applications can also search the directory for Sybase-defined entries by calling ct_ds_lookup. For example, an application calls ct_ds_lookup to search for an available server or to check the status of a particular server.
