NAME
       atBindAddRule,  atBindDelRule,  atBindRuleFile,	atBindDisplayErrors,  atBindTestRule, atBindShowRules, atBindListRules - version bind rule
       handling

SYNOPSIS
       #include <atfs.h>
       #include <atfstk.h>

       int  atBindAddRule (char *ruleName, char *ruleBody, char *srcFile, int srcLine);

       int  atBindDelRule (char *ruleName);

       int  atBindRuleFile (char *fileName);

       int  atBindDisplayErrors;

       int  atBindTestRule (char *ruleName);

       int  atBindShowRules (void);

       char**atBindListRules (void);

DESCRIPTION
       The atBind module maintains an internal database storing all known version bind rules.

       The atBindAddRule function stores a new rule in the internal database. It expects the rule name,  optionally  including	parameter  defini-
       tions,  and  the rule body as string arguments. Additionally, the filename (srcFile) of the file, where the rule is read from, and the line
       within that file (srcLine), may be given. This is used for producing proper error messages. atBindAddRule returns -1 on error, 0 otherwise.

       atBindDelRule removes a previously defined rule from the internal database. It returns a negative return value (-1), when no rule with  the
       given name was not found in the internal database.

       The  atBindRuleFile  function scans a file containing version bind rules and adds all contained rules to the internal database.	It returns
       the number of version bind rules successfully added to the internal database. A zero return value may also indicate an error.

       The switch atBindDisplayErrors may be set TRUE to enable error reporting during parsing of version binding rules. Error	messages  will	be
       written directly to standard error. Initially, atBindDisplayErrors is set FALSE.

       AtBindTestRule  reports	whether  ruleName  is  defined as version binding rule or not. It returns a non zero (TRUE) value when the name is
       defined, otherwise FALSE.

       atBindShowRules dumps the internal database to the standard output. Return value is always TRUE.

       atBindListRules returns all known bind rule names in a list. The list memory is allocated by use of malloc(3).  On  error,  atBindListRules
       returns a null pointer.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Upon  error, each routine returns a null value, the variable atBindError is set true (non-zero), and an explaining message is copied to the
       atBindErrorMsg string buffer. The atBindError variable is cleared upon successful calls, the message buffer remains unchanged.

ENVIRONMENT
       SHAPETOOLS - list of path names as search space for files containing version bind rules. The bind  rule	files  must  be  named	BindRules.
       Default path is /usr/local/lib/shape.

FILES
       $SHAPETOOLS/BindRules
