NFCOMMENT(3)						     Library Functions Manual						      NFCOMMENT(3)

NAME

       nfcomment - a user interface to the notesfile system

SYNOPSIS

       nfcomment ( notesfile, text, title, dirflag, anonflag )
       char *nfname, *text, *title;

       cc ... -lnfcom

DESCRIPTION

       Nfcomment provides user programs with the ability to insert notes into a notesfile.

       The  note  is  inserted into the notesfile specified by nfname.	Text is the address of the body of the note; this must be null-terminated.
       If text is  NULL, the note is gathered from standard input until an EOF is encountered.	The note is entered with the  title  specified	by
       the  title  parameter.	If  the dirflag or anonflag parameters are non-zero, the director message is enabled or the note is entered anony-
       mously.	These take effect only if the user has the appropriate priviledges in the notesfile.

       Nfpipe is used to make the actual insertion of the text.

FILES

       /usr/lib/libnfcom.a		  -lnfcom library
