asgetattr(3x)asgetattr(3x)NAMEasgetattr - search an attribute list for a particular name
SYNOPSIS
#include <arraysvcs.h>
const char *asgetattr(const char *attrname, const char **attrs, int numattrs)
DESCRIPTION
The asgetattr function searches through a list of strings for a
particular attribute name and returns a corresponding value, similar to
the way getenv(3C) searches through the environment for a particular
variable.
The list of strings, attrs, will typically have been returned by a
function such as aslistarrays(3X) or aslistmachines(3X). The argument
numattrs specifies the number of strings in the list.
The attribute to be found is identified by the name attrname. Attributes
are assumed to be of the format "NAME=VALUE", so this amounts to
searching the attributes for the first one that starts with attrname
followed either by a null or the character "=". If NAME is not found,
NULL is returned. If the attribute is present with no value, a pointer
to a null character is returned, otherwise a pointer to VALUE is
returned.
NOTESasgetattr is found in the library "libarray.so", and will be loaded if
the option "-larray" is used with cc(1) or ld(1).
