State Maintenance Routines

The state maintenance routines enable you to create an internet application which can store user and application state information on the web server.

MF_CLIENT_STATE_ALLOCATE Allocate a client identifier
MF_CLIENT_STATE_DELETE Delete client information
MF_CLIENT_STATE_EXPIRY Return a date string for use in the cookie expiry field.
MF_CLIENT_STATE_FILE Specify a file to store state information in
MF_CLIENT_STATE_PURGE Delete client information when date criteria are met
MF_CLIENT_STATE_RESTORE Restore a previously saved or allocated record
MF_CLIENT_STATE_SAVE Update the information in the state file

For more details on using the state maintenance routines, see the CGI-based Applications book.
