NAME

       kobject_rename - change the name of an object

ARGUMENTS

       kobj
	   object in question.

       new_name
	   object's new name

DESCRIPTION

       It is the responsibility of the caller to provide mutual exclusion between two different calls of kobject_rename on the same kobject and to

NAME

       gd_rename -- change the name of a dirfile field

SYNOPSIS

       #include <getdata.h>

       int gd_rename(DIRFILE *dirfile, const char *old_code, const char *new_name, int move_data);

DESCRIPTION

       The  gd_rename() function changes the name of the field specified by old_code, which should not contain a representation suffix, defined in
       the dirfile specified by dirfile to new_name.  If the new name is the same as the old name, this function does nothing.

       When renaming a metafield, the metafield should be specified in old_code by its full (slashed) field code, while new_name should only  con-
       tain the new name (without slash).

       If  the	flag move_data is non-zero, and old_code specifies a RAW field, the binary file associated with the field will be renamed as well.
       If move_data is zero, no changes will be made to the binary file.  If field_code specifies a field of type other than  RAW,  the  move_data
       flag is ignored.

RETURN VALUE

       On  success,  gd_rename()  returns  zero.  On error, -1 is returned and the dirfile error is set to a non-zero error value.  Possible error
       values are:

       GD_E_ACCMODE
	       The specified dirfile was opened read-only.

       GD_E_ALLOC
	       The library was unable to allocate memory.

       GD_E_BAD_CODE
	       The field specified by old_code was not found.

       GD_E_BAD_DIRFILE
	       The supplied dirfile was invalid.

       GD_E_BAD_FIELD_TYPE
	       An attempt was made to rename the immutable INDEX field.

       GD_E_BAD_REPR
	       The representation suffix specified in field_code was not recognised.

       GD_E_DUPLICATE
	       The new name specified is already in use by another field.

       GD_E_PROTECTED
	       The metadata of the format specification fragment containing the field was protected from change, or the binary data of	the  frag-
	       ments was protected from change and binary file translation was requested.

       GD_E_RAW_IO
	       An I/O error occurred while attempting to rename the binary file.

       GD_E_UNKNOWN_ENCODING
	       The encoding scheme of the specified field could not be determined or was not understood by GetData.

       GD_E_UNSUPPORTED
	       The encoding scheme of the field does not support binary file renaming.

       The  dirfile error may be retrieved by calling gd_error(3).  A descriptive error string for the last error encountered can be obtained from
       a call to gd_error_string(3).
