| 66 | This module provides access to various internet-related preferences |
| 67 | set through <b class="program">System Preferences</b> or the <b class="program">Finder</b>. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | <P> |
| 70 | There is a low-level companion module |
| 71 | <tt class="module">icglue</tt><a id='l2h-46' xml:id='l2h-46'></a> which provides the basic |
| 72 | Internet Config access functionality. This low-level module is not |
| 73 | documented, but the docstrings of the routines document the parameters |
| 74 | and the routine names are the same as for the Pascal or C API to |
| 75 | Internet Config, so the standard IC programmers' documentation can be |
| 76 | used if this module is needed. |
| 77 | |
| 78 | <P> |
| 79 | The <tt class="module">ic</tt> module defines the <tt class="exception">error</tt> exception and |
| 80 | symbolic names for all error codes Internet Config can produce; see |
| 81 | the source for details. |

| 98 | code of the current application (default <code>'Pyth'</code>) which may |
| 99 | influence some of ICs settings. The optional <var>ic</var> argument is a |
