getspinfo(2)                                                      getspinfo(2)



NAME
     getspinfo - get service provider information

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/extacct.h>
     #include <unistd.h>

     int getspinfo(struct acctspi *spi);

DESCRIPTION
     The getspinfo function stores the service provider information for the
     array session containing the current process into the acctspi struct
     pointed to by spi.

     The service provider information for an array session is normally
     inherited from the array session of the process that created it, or it
     can be changed with the privileged setspinfo(2) function.  For more
     details on service provider information, see the man pages for
     setspinfo(2).

     getspinfo is provided primarily for compatibility with previous releases
     of IRIX.  A somewhat more general mechanism for doing the same thing is
     provided by the ARSOPGETSPI function of arsop(2).

SEE ALSO
     arsop(2), newarraysess(2), setspinfo(2), array_sessions(5), extacct(5).

DIAGNOSTICS
     getspinfo returns 0 if successful, or a negative value if an error
     occurred.
