::pool::nameserver::server::init ()

Initializes the serverside facilities of the name service. Does actually nothing, serves as entry point for the autoloader only.

::pool::nameserver::server::lookup (pattern)

Called by the client to search for applications matching the pattern.

Argument: pattern The glob style pattern to use while searching the registration database.

::pool::nameserver::server::register (as)

Called by client to register the application with id 'comm remoteid' under the name of as.

Argument: as The name to use for registration

::pool::nameserver::server::revoke (who)

Called by the client to unregister the application who. The system checks that the application executing the revocation is the same as the registrator.
