NAME
  DtDtsBufferToAttributeList - get a list of data attributes for a byte
  stream

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Dt/Dts.h>
  DtDtsAttribute **DtDtsBufferToAttributeList(const void *buffer,
					      const int size,
					      const char *opt_name);

DESCRIPTION
  The DtDtsBufferToAttributeList function returns a list of data attributes
  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 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 DtDtsBufferToAttributeList function returns
  a NULL-terminated array of pointers of *DtDtsAttribute.  If no value could
  be determined, it returns NULL.

APPLICATION USAGE
  The application should use the DtDtsFreeAttributeList3 function to release
  the memory for the returned value.

  The DtDtsBufferToAttributeList 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.
