man genders_getattr (Fonctions bibliothèques) - get attributes from a genders file
NAME
genders_getattr - get attributes from a genders file
SYNOPSIS
#include <genders.h>
int genders_getattr(genders_t handle, char *attrs[], char *vals[], int len, const char *node);
DESCRIPTION
genders_getattr() gets the attributes and values for the node pointed to by node. If node is NULL, attributes and values are retrieved for the current node. The attributes are stored in the attribute list pointed to by attrs and the attribute values are stored in vals. If attribute values are not desired, vals can be set to NULL. len should indicate the number of elements that can be stored in both the attribute list and attribute values list.
To avoid passing in a list that is not large enough to store all the
attributes and attribute values,
genders_getmaxattrs(3)
should be used to determine the minimum number of elements attrs
and vals should be able to store.
genders_attrlist_create(3)
and
genders_vallist_create(3)
could be used to create lists that are guaranteed to be large enough
to store all attributes and attribute values.
RETURN VALUES
On success, the number of attributes stored in attrs is
returned. On error, -1 is returned, and an error code is returned in
handle. The error code can be retrieved via
genders_errnum(3)
, and a description of the error code can be retrieved via
genders_strerror(3).
Error codes are defined in genders.h.
