getnetpath setnetpath endnetpath - get /etc/netconfig entry corresponding to NETPATH component
Lb libc
The
getnetpath ();
function
returns a pointer to the
netconfig database entry corresponding to the first valid
NETPATH
component.
The netconfig entry is formatted as a
struct netconfig .
On each subsequent call,
getnetpath ();
returns a pointer to the netconfig entry that corresponds to the next
valid
NETPATH
component.
The
getnetpath ();
function
can thus be used to search the netconfig database for all networks
included in the
NETPATH
variable.
When
NETPATH
has been exhausted,
getnetpath ();
returns
NULL
A call to
setnetpath ();
``binds''
to or
``rewinds''
NETPATH
The
setnetpath ();
function
must be called before the first call to
getnetpath ();
and may be called at any other time.
It returns a handle that is used by
getnetpath (.);
The
getnetpath ();
function
silently ignores invalid
NETPATH
components.
A
NETPATH
component is invalid if there is no corresponding
entry in the netconfig database.
If the
NETPATH
variable is unset,
getnetpath ();
behaves as if
NETPATH
were set to the sequence of
``default''
or
``visible''
networks in the netconfig database, in the
order in which they are listed.
The
endnetpath ();
function
may be called to
``unbind''
from
NETPATH
when processing is complete, releasing resources for reuse.
Programmers should be aware, however, that
endnetpath ();
frees all memory allocated by
getnetpath ();
for the struct netconfig data structure.
The
endnetpath ();
function
returns 0 on success and -1 on failure
(for example, if
setnetpath ();
was not called previously).
The
nc_perror ();
or
nc_sperror ();
function
can be used to print out the reason for failure.
See
getnetconfig(3).
When first called,
getnetpath ();
returns a pointer to the netconfig database entry corresponding to the first
valid
NETPATH
component.
When
NETPATH
has been exhausted,
getnetpath ();
returns
NULL
