Bind with Attributes

This operation binds the supplied reference ref to the supplied composite name name relative to ctx, and associates the attributes specified in attrs with the named object. The binding is made in the target context--that context named by all but the terminal atomic part of name. The operation binds the terminal atomic part of name to the supplied reference in the target context. The target context must already exist.

int fn_attr_bind(
    FN_ctx_t *ctx,
    const FN_composite_name_t *name,
    const FN_ref_t *ref,
    unsigned int exclusive,
    FN_status_t *status);

The value of exclusive determines what happens if the terminal atomic part of the name is already bound in the target context. If exclusive is non-zero and name is already bound, the operation fails. If exclusive is zero, the new binding replaces any existing binding, and attrs, if not NULL, replaces any existing attributes associated with the named object.
