Synopsis

#include <linx_types.h>
#include <linx.h>

int linx_get_name(LINX *linx, LINX_SPID spid, char **name);

int linx_free_name(LINX *linx, char **name);

Description

Get the full huntname of the LINX endpoint, associated with the local spid binary identifier.

linx is the handle to the own LINX endpoint.

spid is the identifier of the other LINX endpoint, for which the name is requested.

name is a pointer, that at return will point to an buffer with the hunt name. Unless returned as NULL, the buffer have been allocated by LINX using malloc(3) and must be freed by the user with free(3) , when no longer needed. The huntname is a string which can contain multiple link names, if the LINX endpoint is remote.

If linx is not a valid LINX endpoint, i.e. created with linx_open(3) then abort(3) is called.

Return Value

Returns 0 if successful, for linx_get_name(3) the name will contain a pointer to a buffer, allocated by LINX, containing the huntname. The user is responsible for freeing the buffer with linx_free_name(3) .
In case of failure, -1 will be returned and errno will be set.

Errors

EINVAL if spid is erroneous.

ENOMEM if there is not enough memory.

EBADF if the underlying linx structure contains a invalid socket descriptor.

Bugs/Limitations

None.
