Re: SSO - creating EIM source associations in batch

The doc is correct - an asterisk means "this is a pointer", not a comment.

enum is a special C construct that means, in this case, an integer with a limited set of values that normally start with 1 - this is declared elsewhere and described in this page as having 4 values, from 1 to 4.

Because that parameter has no asterisk, it is passed by value.

See my other reply for more info.

Granted IDK enough about C to make a call on this but it just doesn't seem
right

First I looked at this

int eimAddAssociation(EimHandle * eim,
enum EimAssociationType associationType,
EimIdentifierInfo * idName,
char * registryName,
char * registryUserName,
EimRC * eimrc)

then I looked at the example given later in the program and it really
makes me question the above.
1 - I think there should be an asterisk in front of associationType to
make it as a comment.
2 - At first I thought enum might be a null indicator or some such thing
but now I'm thinking it's clutter that should be removed as I do not see
it used later in the example.
