NAME¶
lfc_creatg - create a new LFC file with the specified GUID or reset it in the
name server
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <sys/types.h>
#include "lfc_api.h"
int lfc_creatg (const char *path, const char
*guid, mode_t mode)
DESCRIPTION¶
lfc_creatg creates a new LFC file with the specified GUID or resets it in
the name server.
If the file exists, the length is truncated to 0 and the mode and owner are
unchanged.
If the file does not exist yet, an entry is created in the name server database
and the file's owner ID is set to the effective user ID of the requestor. The
group ID of the file is set to the effective group ID of the requestor or is
taken from the parent directory if the latter has the
S_ISGID bit set.
The access permission bits for the file are taken from
mode, then all
bits set in the requestor's file mode creation mask are cleared (see
lfc_umask(3)).
- guid
- specifies the Grid Unique IDentifier.
- path
- specifies the logical pathname relative to the current LFC
directory or the full LFC pathname.
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¶
- ENOENT
- A component of path prefix does not exist or
path is a null pathname.
- EACCES
- Search permission is denied on a component of the
path prefix or the file does not exist and write permission on the
parent directory is denied or the file exists and write permission on the
file itself is denied.
- EFAULT
- path is a NULL pointer.
- EEXIST
- File exists already with a different GUID or has
replicas.
- ENOTDIR
- A component of path prefix is not a directory.
- EISDIR
- path is an existing directory.
- EINVAL
- The fileclass in the parent directory is zero or the length
of the guid exceeds CA_MAXGUIDLEN.
- ENOSPC
- The name server database is full.
- ENAMETOOLONG
- The length of path exceeds CA_MAXPATHLEN or
the length of a path component exceeds CA_MAXNAMELEN.
- SENOSHOST
- Host unknown.
- SENOSSERV
- Service unknown.
- SECOMERR
- Communication error.
- ENSNACT
- Name server is not running or is being shutdown.
