DESCRIPTION

The rpc_binding_from_string_binding() routine creates a server binding handle from a string representation of a binding handle.

When the string_binding argument contains an object UUID, the returned binding contains the UUID that is specified. Otherwise, the returned binding contains a nil UUID.

When the string_binding argument contains an endpoint field, the returned binding is a fully bound server binding handle with a well-known endpoint. Otherwise, the returned binding is a partially bound binding handle.

When the string_binding argument contains a host address field, the returned binding contains the host address that is specified. Otherwise, the returned binding refers to the local host.
