nameindex(3) - Linux man page

Name

nameindex - concatenate a name and index with user separator

Synopsys

#include "mut.h"
char ∗nameindex(s, i)
char ∗s;
long i;

Parameters

s

Pointer to a string

t

Long integer

Description

The nameindex function adds the separator defined by mbk_separ(1), and then the string version of i at the end of string s. This is not like a strcat(3) of the standard library, because s is not beeing modified.
The string returned has already been put in the names dictionary by a call to namealloc(3).

Return Value

nameindex returns a pointer to a string in the name hash table.

Example

#include "mut.h"
#include "mlo.h"
void a_sig_name(ptsig)
losig_list ∗ptsig;
{
return pt->NAMECHAIN ? (char ∗)(pt->NAMECHAIN->DATA)

: nameindex("mbk_sig", pt->INDEX);

}
