NAME

addopt() − adds an argument and its associated data to the NetIPC opt parameter

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/ns_ipc.h>

void addopt (opt,argnum,optioncode,datalength,data,error);
short int opt[], data[], argnum, optioncode, datalength, *error;

DESCRIPTION

The addopt call adds an argument and its associated data to an NetIPC opt parameter.  The parameter must be initialized by initopt before arguments can be added.  Refer to the NetIPC programmer’s manual for your system for a complete description of the opt parameter. 
 
This routine can be linked into a program by giving the -lnsipc option to cc(1) or ld(1).

argnum (input parameter) The number of the argument to be added.  The first argument is number zero.

datalength (input parameter) The length in bytes of the data to be included.  This information is provided in each NetIPC call opt parameter description. 

data (input parameter) An array containing the data associated with the argument. 

error (output parameter) The error code returned; zero or NSR_NO_ERROR if no error.  Refer to "Diagnostics" below for more information.
