BindTree

Purpose

The BindTree utility was developed in order to help gather the most important characteristics of various MAC drivers and network interface cards.

Usage

The utility is an easy to use, single program file named BINDTREE.EXE. It does not require the NTRACE.OS2 driver to be loaded. This means it is appropriate to use to investigate the capabilities of new LAN adapter hardware and the status of an NDIS protocol tree. It doesn't require any command line parameters to run. Simply execute:

bindtree | more

It will display a detailed, formatted report of the entire bindings tree (protocol modules and MAC modules), known to and maintained by the OS/2 Protocol Manager. Note: the same module may be listed multiple times in the tree. This is a known "feature" of the Protocol Manager's BindTree function call, not a BindTree utility bug.

Please refer to IBM's NDIS documents for description of the appropriate tables.
