DPNS_STARTTRANS(3)					      DPNS Library Functions						DPNS_STARTTRANS(3)

NAME

       dpns_starttrans - start transaction mode

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include "dpns_api.h"

       int dpns_starttrans (char *server, char *comment);

DESCRIPTION

       dpns_starttrans	starts	transaction  mode.   The  connection to the Name Server is kept open until one of the DB update operation fails or
       dpns_aborttrans or dpns_endtrans is explicitly called.  If all the DB update operations between dpns_starttrans and dpns_endtrans are  suc-
       cessful, a COMMIT is done.  If any DB update operation fails or if an explicit dpns_aborttrans is done, a ROLLBACK is done.  The comment is
       logged in the server log.

RETURN VALUE

       This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

       EINVAL	    The length of comment exceeds CA_MAXCOMMENTLEN.

       SENOSHOST    Host unknown.

       SENOSSERV    Service unknown.

       SECOMERR     Communication error.

       ENSNACT	    Name server is not running or is being shutdown.

NAME

       dpns_chdir - change DPNS current directory used by the name server

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include "dpns_api.h"

       int dpns_chdir (const char *path)

DESCRIPTION

       dpns_chdir  changes the DPNS current directory used by the name server to expand DPNS pathnames not beginning with /.  This current working
       directory is stored in a thread-safe variable in the client.

       path   specifies the logical pathname relative to the current DPNS directory or the full DPNS pathname.

RETURN VALUE

       This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

       ENOENT	    The named directory does not exist or is a null pathname.

       EACCES	    Search permission is denied on any component of path.

       EFAULT	    path is a NULL pointer.

       ENOTDIR	    A component of path prefix is not a directory.

       ENAMETOOLONG The length of path exceeds CA_MAXPATHLEN or the length of a path component exceeds CA_MAXNAMELEN.

       SENOSHOST    Host unknown.

       SENOSSERV    Service unknown.

       SECOMERR     Communication error.

       ENSNACT	    Name server is not running or is being shutdown.
