ServiceName Property

A name for a service. When set, it initiates a search for the corresponding port number and protocol.

 ipinfo.setServiceName( serviceName, [callback])

Default Value

""

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getServiceName([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setServiceName([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property contains the name of the specified service located at ServicePort.

If this property is set to a service name, a search is initiated for the corresponding ServicePort and other information related to the service (if any).

The RequestComplete event is fired when the search is complete. RequestId identifies the pending request.

NOTE: This functionality is only available in Windows.
