dce_cf_get_csrgy_filename(3dce)  —  Subroutines

Name

dce_cf_get_csrgy_filename - Returns the pathname of the code set registry file on a host

Synopsis

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dce/dce_cf.h> void dce_cf_get_csrgy_filename(
char ∗∗csrgy_filename,
error_status_t ∗status);

Parameters

Input

None. 

Input/Output

csrgy_filename
The address of a string pointer.  This pointer will be set by the function to point to a buffer that contains the pathname to the code set registry file.

Output

statusReturns the status code from this operation.  The status code is a value that indicates whether the routine completed successfully and if not, why not. 

Description

The dce_cf_get_csrgy_filename() routine is a DCE function that returns the pathname of a code set registry file that has been created on a given host with the csrc utility.  DCE RPC routines for code set interoperability use this routine when they need to locate a host’s code set registry file in order to map between unique code set identifiers and their operating system-specific local code set names, or to obtain supported code sets for a client or server.  User-written code set interoperability routines can also use the routine. 

The dce_cf_get_csrgy_filename() routine searches the DCE configuration file for the name of the local host’s code set registry file, allocates a buffer for it (by a call to malloc()), copies the name into the buffer, and returns its address in the csrgy_filename input parameter. 

Cautions

The memory for a returned name string is allocated by malloc(), and must be freed by the caller of dce_cf_get_csrgy_filename(). 

Files

dcelocal/dce_cf.db
The machine’s local DCE configuration file (where dcelocal is usually something like /opt/dcelocal). 

Errors

The following describes a partial list of errors that might be returned.  Refer to the OSF DCE Problem Determination Guide for complete descriptions of all error messages. 

dce_cf_st_ok
Operation successfully completed.

dce_cf_e_file_open
File open error.

dce_cf_e_no_mem
No memory available.
