SLPParseSrvURL(3SLP)				    Service Location Protocol Library Functions 			      SLPParseSrvURL(3SLP)

NAME

       SLPParseSrvURL - parse service URL

SYNOPSIS

       #include <slp.h>

       SLPError SLPParseSrvURL(const char *pcSrvURL, SLPSrvURL** ppSrvURL);

DESCRIPTION

       The  SLPParseSrvURL()  routine  parses	the  URL  passed in as the argument into a service URL structure  and returns it  in the  ppSrvURL
       pointer.    If a parser error occurs,   returns	SLP_PARSE_ERROR.  The  structure  returned  in	ppSrvURL should  be freed with	SLPFree().
       If   the  URL  has   no	service  part, the  s_pcSrvPart string	is  the empty string, "",  that is, it is not NULL. If pcSrvURL  is  not a
       service:  URL,  then the  s_pcSrvType field  in	the  returned data  structure  is  the	URL's  scheme,	which might not be the same as the
       service type  under  which the  URL was	registered.  If  the transport	is  IP, the s_pcNetFamily field is the empty string.

       If no error  occurs, the return	value is the  SLP_OK.  Otherwise, if  an error	occurs, one  of the  SLPError  codes  is returned.

PARAMETERS

       pcSrvURL        A  pointer  to	a character buffer  containing the  null  terminated URL string to parse.  It is destructively modified to
		       produce the output structure. It may not be NULL.

       ppSrvURL 	A pointer to a	ponter for the SLPSrvURL structure  to	receive the parsed URL. It may not be NULL.

ERRORS

       This function or its callback may return any SLP error code. See the ERRORS section in slp_api(3SLP).

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Using SLPParseSrvURL()

       The following example uses the SLPParseSrvURL() function to parse the service URL service:printer:lpr://serv/queue1:

       SLPSrvURL* surl;
       SLPError err;

       err = SLPParseSrvURL("service:printer:lpr://serv/queue1", &surl);
