Synopsis

#include <sdp.h>

sdp_attr_t *sdp_find_attribute(sdp_attr_t *attr, const char *name);

Description

The sdp_find_attribute() function searches the attribute list attr for the specified attribute name. If the attribute is found it returns the pointer to that attribute. Otherwise it returns NULL.

Return Values

The sdp_find_attribute() function returns the attribute (sdp_attr_t *) on success and NULL when the search fails or when mandatory input parameters are NULL.

Examples

Example 1 An (incomplete) SDP description that contains one media section: audio.
m=audio 49170 RTP/AVP 0 8
a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000
a=rtpmap:8 PCMA/8000
a=sendonly
a=ptime:10000
a=maxptime:20000

/*
 * Assuming that above description is parsed using sdp_parse and that
 * the parsed structure is in "session" sdp_session_t structure.
 */

sdp_attr_t *ptime;
sdp_attr_t *max_ptime;
sdp_media_t *media = session->s_media;

if ((ptime = sdp_find_attribute(media->m_attr, "ptime")) == NULL)
        /* ptime attribute not present */
else if((max_ptime = sdp_find_attribute(media->m_attr, 
         "maxptime")) == NULL)
        /* max_ptime attribute not present */
