nbp_name(3) - Linux man page
Name
nbp_name - NBP name parsing
Synopsis
int
nbp_name(char *
name, char **
obj, char **
type, char **
zone);
Description
nbp_name() parses user supplied names into their component object, type, and zone.
obj,
type, and zone should be passed by reference, and should point to the caller's default values. nbp_name() will change the pointers to the parsed-out
values.
name is of the form
object:type@zone, where each of
object,
:type, and
@zone
replace
obj,
type, and
zone, respectively.
type must be proceeded by '
:', and zone must be preceded by '
@'.
Example
The argument of
afpd(8)'s
-n option is parsed with nbp_name(). The default
value of
obj is the first component of the machine's hostname (as returned by
gethostbyname(3)). The default value of
type is
''AFPServer'', and of zone is ''*'', the default zone. To cause
afpd to register itself in some zone other than the default, one would invoke it as
afpd -n @some-other-zone
obj and
type would retain their default values.
Bugs
obj,
type, and zone return pointers into static area which may be over-written on each
call.
