get_nderror(3N)                                      get_nderror(3N)


       NAME
             get_nderror, set_nderror - get/set nderror value

       SYNOPSIS
             cc [options] file -lnsl
             #include <netdir.h>
             int get_nderror(void);
             int set_nderror(int);

       DESCRIPTION
             The get_nderror and set_nderror functions are used in multi-
             threaded applications that use Name-to-Address Translation
             (netdir) to set and return the value in _nderror.

             These functions are required by applications compiled with the
             _REENTRANT flag if the user needs to set the thread-specific
             version of _nderror.

          Files

                               Network Services Library (shared object)

       USAGE
             While get_nderror and set_nderror are designed for use in
             multi-threaded applications, they are available for used in
             non-reentrant code and may be incorporated if a need is
             anticipated to convert to reentrant code later on.
