dce_cf_get_csrgy_filename(3dce)

Returns the path name of the code set registry file on a host

Synopsis

#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 path name to the code set registry file.

Output

status
Returns 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 path name 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).
