LFC_GETCWD(3)						       LFC Library Functions						     LFC_GETCWD(3)

NAME

       lfc_getcwd - get LFC current directory used by the name server

SYNOPSIS

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

       char *lfc_getcwd (char *buf, int size)

DESCRIPTION

       lfc_getcwd  gets  the LFC current directory used by the name server.  This current working directory is stored in a thread-safe variable in
       the client.

       If buf is not NULL, the current directory name will be stored there.
       If buf is NULL, lfc_getcwd allocates a buffer of size bytes using malloc.

       size must be at least the length of the directory name to be returned plus one byte.

RETURN VALUE

       This routine returns buf if the operation was successful or NULL if the operation failed.  In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

       ENOENT	    The current directory has not been set yet or does not exist anymore.

       ENOMEM	    buf is a NULL pointer and memory could not be allocated.

       EINVAL	    size is less than or equal to zero.

       ERANGE	    size is greater than 0 and less than size of current directory name plus 1.

       SENOSHOST    Host unknown.

       SENOSSERV    Service unknown.

       SECOMERR     Communication error.

       ENSNACT	    Name server is not running or is being shutdown.
