SaScreenPolicy(3tlib)

SaScreenPolicy: SaScreenPolicyGet, SaScreenPolicySet -- save/restore configurable application variables for SCOadmin clients

Synopsis

SaScreenPolicyGet client attribute
SaScreenPolicySet client attribute value

Description

SaScreenPolicyGet- get stored user preferences for manager

SaScreenPolicySet- store user preferences for manager

The SaScreenPolicy interface enables SCOadmin applications to retain per-user configurable variables across multiple invocations. Values are stored in a common per-user file in a section reserved for the individual application. All SCOadmin application values are collected together in a single file avoiding unnecessary file system pollution and providing the user with a central place for all preferences.

SaScreenPolicy is implemented using the Stanza files.

Arguments

client: string (without embedded white space) that uniquely identifies calling application from all other SCOadmin applications. Must conform to the rules for Stanza section names.
attribute: name for configurable variable. Must conform to the rules for Stanza attribute names.
value: attribute value being set or returned. Must conform to the rules for Stanza values.

Files

$HOME/.scoadmin.pref - the per-user SCOadmin stanza file.

Diagnostics

Errors are thrown, typically from the underlying Stanza interfaces. These should be handled eventually withErrorCatch.
