DESCRIPTION

19       dpns_opendir  opens a DPNS directory, having the specified GUID, in the
20       name server to  be  used  in  subsequent  dpns_readdir  operations.   A
21       dpns_DIR  structure  and  a  buffer  to cache the directory entries are
22       allocated in the client API.
23
24       guid   specifies the Grid Unique IDentifier.
25
26       path   specifies the logical pathname  relative  to  the  current  DPNS
27              directory or the full DPNS pathname.

RETURN VALUE

30       This  routine  returns a pointer to be used in the subsequent directory
31       function calls if the operation was successful or NULL if the operation
32       failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately.
33

ERRORS
