41 @discussion The SCDynamicStore API provides access to the key-value
42 pairs in the dynamic store of a running system. The dynamic
43 store contains, among other items, a copy of the configuration
44 settings for the currently active set (which is sometimes
45 refered to as the location) and information about the current
48 The functions in the SCDynamicStore API allow you to find
49 key-value pairs, add or remove key-value pairs, add or change
50 values, and request notifications.
52 To use the functions of the SCDynamicStore API, you must first
53 establish a dynamic store session using the SCDynamicStoreCreate
54 function. When you are finished with the session, use CFRelease
