The UPnP Device Host API handles the UPnP-specific steps of discovery, description, control, and eventing for devices.
Applications that use the Device Host API typically perform the following tasks:
- Respond to search requests issued by control points.
- Parse SOAP and HTTP control commands from control points and
return the responses to control points.
- Submit events to subscribing control points.
- Publish information about the device and its services and
nested devices.
- Respond to device queries from control points.
- Respond to control requests from control points.
