1.1 Glossary

This document uses the following terms:

ANSI character: An 8-bit Windows-1252 character set unit.

control level: The permissions that are granted to a participant in a shared desktop. The control levels include "view" (the participant is able to see, but not interact with, shared content), "full" (the participant is able to both see and interact with shared content), and "none" (the participant can neither see nor interact with shared content).

filtering: To share a subset of the host applications or windows with participants instead of sharing all of the applications and windows.

host: The machine with the desktop or applications that are being shared with the other participants.

HRESULT: An integer value that indicates the result or status of an operation. A particular HRESULT can have different meanings depending on the protocol using it. See [MS-ERREF] section 2.1 and specific protocol documents for further details.

participant: A machine that is accessing the desktop content shared by the host.

protocol data unit (PDU): Information that is delivered as a unit among peer entities of a network and that can contain control information, address information, or data. For more information on remote procedure call (RPC)-specific PDUs, see [C706] section 12.

share: To make content on a host desktop available to participants. Participants with a sufficient control level can interact remotely with the host desktop by sending input commands.

sharing manager: The application or program used by the host to initiate and control the sharing of desktop content.

Unicode character: Unless otherwise specified, a 16-bit UTF-16 code unit.

MAY, SHOULD, MUST, SHOULD NOT, MUST NOT: These terms (in all caps) are used as defined in [RFC2119]. All statements of optional behavior use either MAY, SHOULD, or SHOULD NOT.
