This section provides a detailed description of the primitives (requests and responses) that comprise the TCAP transaction API and the messages (indications and confirmations) received via the TCAPRetrieveMessage primitive. It also describes the parameters supported for each request/message.

4.1 Files

The following files are provided with the TCAP API distribution disk.
ss7type.h

 Basic data types employed by the TCAP API.

tcapapi.h

 Data structures and constants described in Chapter 3 and in the following subsections.

tcapfunc.h

 Function prototypes for API functions described in this section.

libtcap.a

 Static library to link with user application (Unix only).

tcapapi.lib

 Import library to link with user application (Windows NT only).

tcapapi.dll

 Dynamic link library automatically linked to application (Windows NT only)

Additionally, several sample applications have been supplied to demonstrate calls to the TCAP API. These samples are described in Chapter 6.

Use of the TCAP API also depends on prior installation of the SCCP layer package, particularly the <sccpapi.h> file, which defines some data structures and constants required for TCAP applications.
