LFC_GETREPLICA(3) LFC Library Functions LFC_GETREPLICA(3)

NAME

lfc_getreplica - get the replica entries associated with a LFC file in the name server

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>
#include "lfc_api.h"

int lfc_getreplica (const char *path, const char *guid, const char *se, int *nbentries, struct lfc_filereplica **rep_entries)

DESCRIPTION

lfc_getreplica gets the replica entries associated with a LFC file in the name server.

The file can be specified by path name or by guid. If both are given, they must point at the same file.

specifies the logical pathname relative to the current LFC directory or the full LFC pathname.
specifies the Grid Unique IDentifier.
allows to restrict the replica entries to a given SE.
will be set to the number of entries in the array of replicas.
will be set to the address of an array of lfc_filereplica structures allocated by the API. The client application is responsible for freeing the array when not needed anymore.

struct lfc_filereplica {
	u_signed64	fileid;
	u_signed64	nbaccesses;
	time_t		atime;		/* last access to replica */
	time_t		ptime;		/* replica pin time */
	char		status;
	char		f_type;		/* 'V' for Volatile, 'P' for Permanent */
	char		poolname[CA_MAXPOOLNAMELEN+1];
	char		host[CA_MAXHOSTNAMELEN+1];
	char		fs[80];
	char		sfn[CA_MAXSFNLEN+1];
};

RETURN VALUE

This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

The named file does not exist.
Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix.
Memory could not be allocated for unmarshalling the reply.
path and guid are NULL pointers or nbentries or rep_entries is a NULL pointer.
A component of path prefix is not a directory.
The length of guid exceeds CA_MAXGUIDLEN or the length of se exceeds CA_MAXHOSTNAMELEN or path and guid are both given and they point at a different file.
The length of path exceeds CA_MAXPATHLEN or the length of a path component exceeds CA_MAXNAMELEN.
Host unknown.
Service unknown.
Communication error.
Name server is not running or is being shutdown.
