[This is preliminary documentation and is subject to change.]

Syntax

internal static class ErlEpmd
Remarks

Nodes wishing to contact other nodes must first request information from Epmd before a connection can be set up, however this is done automatically by Connection(String, Nullable ErlAtom ) when necessary. The methods PublishPort(ErlLocalNode) and UnPublishPort(ErlLocalNode) will fail if an Epmd process is not running on the localhost. Additionally LookupPort(ErlLocalNode, ErlRemoteNode, Boolean) will fail if there is no Epmd process running on the host where the specified node is running. See the Erlang documentation for information about starting Epmd. This class contains only static methods, there are no constructors.
