Federated Naming Service Programming Guide

Get Syntax Attributes of Context

This operation returns the syntax attributes associated with the context named by name, relative to the context ctx.


FN_attrset_t *fn_ctx_get_syntax_attrs(
    FN_ctx_t *ctx,
    const   FN_composite_name_t *name,
    FN_status_t *status);

This operation is different from other XFN attribute operations in that these syntax attributes could be obtained directly from the context. Attributes obtained through other XFN attribute operations might not be associated with the context; they might be associated with the reference of the context, rather than with the context itself (see "Relationship to Naming Operations").
