Synopsis

#include <scoadmin/osaStdDef.h> 
 
long OSAGetAttributeLong(errStatusPtr, attributeListPtr, attributeToken) 
 
double OSAGetAttributeLong(errStatusPtr, attributeListPtr, attributeToken) 
 
char *OSAGetAttributeLong(errStatusPtr, attributeListPtr, attributeToken) 

Description

OSAGetAttributeLong looks for the named attribute in the attribute list provided by the client's request (the command line). If found then it will return the integer number associated with the named attribute.

OSAGetAttributeDouble works in an identical manner to OSAGetAttributeLong except it returns a floating point number.

OSAGetAttributeString works in an identical manner to OSAGetAttributeLong except it returns a pointer to a string.

These functions only work on single-valued attributes. If the OSA writer needs to receive set-valued attribute data then the OSAGetAttrArrayValue procedures should be called.

Arguments

errStatus_cl *errStatusPtr

A pointer to the error stack data structure. If an error occurs in retrieving the data, the appropriate error will be placed in the error stack. This data can be referenced using the library functions associated with the error stack.

ofParameterList_cl *attributeListPtr

A pointer to the attribute list data structure. All attribute values that provided by the calling client are contained in this structure and are accessed via SCOadmin services library routines.

attributeToken_t attributeToken

The predefined token that represents the attribute to which the given value should be associated with. These tokens are defined in the OSA's CDT.

Diagnostics

INVALID_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE

The specified attribute in not of same data type as requested for in the operation (either by long versus double versus string, or set versus single).

NO_SUCH_ATTRIBUTE

The attribute represented by attributeToken was not provided by the client in the attribute list.
