There is likely better people who are active on the project that can give you an updated answer, but I'll try.
Short answer: It does (at least 'did' as of about a year ago) absolutely nothing. Set it to "IN_PROC" and don't worry about it. Long answer: This is a historical left-over. When initially designed, IoTivity was supposed to have the option to run either in the same process as the caller, or as a 'service' or 'daemon' so that multiple instances could share the same stack. This was called "Out of Proc". I don't think it was ever implemented, and if it hasn't changed, the C++ implementation will throw an exception if you attempt to use it.
