Functions
As is the case with other server plug-in functions, pre-operation functions and

server startup. Each function corresponds to an ID in the parameter block. In your
initialization function, you can call the
the name of your function that corresponds to the pre-operation or post-operation
function. For more information on the parameter block, see "Getting Data from the
Parameter Block" on page 29.
