uuid_equal(3ncs)uuid_equal(3ncs)Name
uuid_equal - compare two UUIDs
Syntax
#include <idl/c/uuid.h>
boolean uuid_$equal(u1, u2)
uuid_$t *u1;
uuid_$t *u2;
Arguments
u1 A UUID.
u2 Another UUID.
Description
The routine compares the UUIDs u1 and u2. It returns `true' if they are equal, `false' if they are not.
Examples
The following code compares the UUIDs bar_uuid and foo_uuid:
if (uuid_$equal (&bar_uuid, &foo_uuid))
printf ("bar and foo UUIDs are equal
");
else
printf ("bar and foo UUIDs are not equal
");

rpc_inq_object(3ncs)rpc_inq_object(3ncs)Name
rpc_inq_object - return the object UUID represented by an RPC handle (client or server)
Syntax
#include <idl/c/rpc.h>
void rpc_$inq_object(handle, object, status)
handle_t handle;
uuid_$t *object;
status_$t *status;
Arguments
handle An RPC handle.
object The UUID of the object identified by handle.
status The completion status. If the completion status returned in is equal to status_$ok , then the routine that supplied it
was successful.
Description
The routine enables a client or server to determine the particular object that a handle represents.
If a server exports an interface through which clients can access several objects, it can use to determine the object requested in a call.
This routine requires an RPC handle as input, so the server can make the call only if the interface uses explicit handles (that is, if each
operation in the interface has a handle parameter). If the interface uses an implicit handle, the handle identifier is not passed to the
server.
Examples
A database server that manages multiple databases must determine the particular database to be accessed whenever it receives a remote pro-
cedure call. Each manager routine makes the following call; the routine then uses the returned UUID to identify the database to be
accessed:
rpc_$inq_object (handle, &db_uuid, &status);
Diagnostics
This section lists status codes for errors returned by this routine in
rpc_$unk_if The requested interface is not known. It is not registered in the server, the version number of the registered inter-
face is different from the version number specified in the request, or the UUID in the request does not match the UUID
of the registered interface.
rpc_$not_in_call An internal error.
rpc_$proto_error An internal protocol error.

I'm writing a command shell, and I want to be able to detect when the user presses an arrow key (otherwise it just prints [[A, [[B, etc.). I know it's relatively easy (although somewhat more time-consuming) to detect keystrokes in noncanonical mode, but I've noticed that the bash shell detects... (4 Replies)
I'm learning off Linux (Ubuntu) right now. I want to move up to Unix, but I don't want to rush like I did when it came to Windows --> to Linux. What is the best Unix OS that fits in pretty well with Ubuntu.
In other words is there kind of an equal Linux with Unix?
Also what do I need to... (10 Replies)
I noticed my hostname is <my-full-name>s-macbook.local. I'm not sure exactly what information leaves the local network, and whether the hostname is included, but if it is, this would mean people on the Internet can look at my hostname and see who I am.
