DtDtsBufferToAttributeValue(3)
CDE
NAME
  DtDtsBufferToAttributeValue - get a single data attribute value for a byte
  stream

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Dts.h>
  char *DtDtsBufferToAttributeValue(const void buffer,
				    const int size,
				    const char *attr_name,
				    const char *opt_name);

DESCRIPTION
  The DtDtsBufferToAttributeValue function returns a data attribute value for
  a given byte stream. The buffer argument is a pointer to the buffer of the
  data to be typed.

  The size argument is the size of the buffer in bytes.

  The attr_name argument is a name of the attribute.

  The opt_name argument can be used to specify a name to be associated with
  the buffer. If the opt_name argument is not NULL, it is used as a pseudo
  file name in typing; otherwise, certain attributes may be returned as NULL
  because the filename components could not be determined.

RETURN VALUE
  Upon successful completion, the DtDtsBufferToAttributeValue function
  returns a pointer to a data attribute value string, or NULL if no value
  could be determined.

APPLICATION USAGE
  The application should use the DtDtsFreeAttributeValue(3) function to
  release the memory for the returned value.

  The DtDtsBufferToAttributeValue function assumes that the buffer is
  readable and writable by the user, group and other file classes and selects
  a type accordingly. An application requiring a type based on read-only
  permissions should use DtDtsDataToDataType.
