NAME

6       nbp_name - NBP name parsing
7

SYNOPSIS

9       int nbp_name(char *name, char **obj, char **type, char **zone);
10

DESCRIPTION

12       nbp_name() parses user supplied names into their component object,
13       type, and zone.  obj, type, and zone should be passed by reference, and
14       should point to the caller´s default values.  nbp_name() will change
15       the pointers to the parsed-out values.  name is of the form
16       object:type@zone, where each of object, :type, and @zone replace obj,
17       type, and zone, respectively.  type must be proceeded by `:´, and zone
18       must be preceded by `@´.
19

EXAMPLE

21       The argument of afpd(8)´s -n option is parsed with nbp_name(). The
22       default value of obj is the first component of the machine´s hostname
23       (as returned by gethostbyname(3)). The default value of type is
24       ``AFPServer´´, and of zone is ``*´´, the default zone. To cause afpd to
25       register itself in some zone other than the default, one would invoke
26       it as
27
28           afpd -n @some-other-zone
29
30       obj and type would retain their default values.
31

BUGS

33       obj, type, and zone return pointers into static area which may be
34       over-written on each call.
