confstr: získat konfigurovatelné proměnné

Originální popis anglicky: confstr - get configurable variables

Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual

STRUČNĚ

#include <unistd.h>
 
 
size_t confstr(int name, char *buf , size_t len);
 

POPIS / INSTRUKCE

The confstr() function shall return configuration-defined string values. Its use and purpose are similar to sysconf(), but it is used where string values rather than numeric values are returned.
The name argument represents the system variable to be queried. The implementation shall support the following name values, defined in <unistd.h>. It may support others:
_CS_PATH
 
_CS_POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFF32_CFLAGS
 
_CS_POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFF32_LDFLAGS
 
_CS_POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFF32_LIBS
 
_CS_POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG_CFLAGS
 
_CS_POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG_LDFLAGS
 
_CS_POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG_LIBS
 
_CS_POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64_CFLAGS
 
_CS_POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64_LDFLAGS
 
_CS_POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64_LIBS
 
_CS_POSIX_V6_LPBIG_OFFBIG_CFLAGS

If len is not 0, and if name has a configuration-defined value, confstr() shall copy that value into the len-byte buffer pointed to by buf. If the string to be returned is longer than len bytes, including the terminating null, then confstr() shall truncate the string to len-1 bytes and null-terminate the result. The application can detect that the string was truncated by comparing the value returned by confstr() with len.
If len is 0 and buf is a null pointer, then confstr() shall still return the integer value as defined below, but shall not return a string. If len is 0 but buf is not a null pointer, the result is unspecified.
If the implementation supports the POSIX shell option, the string stored in buf after a call to:
 
confstr(_CS_PATH, buf, sizeof(buf))
can be used as a value of the PATH environment variable that accesses all of the standard utilities of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, if the return value is less than or equal to sizeof( buf).

NÁVRATOVÁ HODNOTA

If name has a configuration-defined value, confstr() shall return the size of buffer that would be needed to hold the entire configuration-defined value including the terminating null. If this return value is greater than len, the string returned in buf is truncated.
If name is invalid, confstr() shall return 0 and set errno to indicate the error.
If name does not have a configuration-defined value, confstr() shall return 0 and leave errno unchanged.

CHYBY / ERRORY

The confstr() function shall fail if:
EINVAL
The value of the name argument is invalid.

PŘÍKLADY POUŽITÍ

None.

APPLICATION USAGE

An application can distinguish between an invalid name parameter value and one that corresponds to a configurable variable that has no configuration-defined value by checking if errno is modified. This mirrors the behavior of sysconf().
The original need for this function was to provide a way of finding the configuration-defined default value for the environment variable PATH . Since PATH can be modified by the user to include directories that could contain utilities replacing the standard utilities in the Shell and Utilities volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, applications need a way to determine the system-supplied PATH environment variable value that contains the correct search path for the standard utilities.
An application could use:
 
confstr(name, (char *)NULL, (size_t)0)
to find out how big a buffer is needed for the string value; use malloc() to allocate a buffer to hold the string; and call confstr() again to get the string. Alternately, it could allocate a fixed, static buffer that is big enough to hold most answers (perhaps 512 or 1024 bytes), but then use malloc() to allocate a larger buffer if it finds that this is too small.

RATIONALE

Application developers can normally determine any configuration variable by means of reading from the stream opened by a call to:
 
popen("command -p getconf variable", "r");
The confstr() function with a name argument of _CS_PATH returns a string that can be used as a PATH environment variable setting that will reference the standard shell and utilities as described in the Shell and Utilities volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001.
The confstr() function copies the returned string into a buffer supplied by the application instead of returning a pointer to a string. This allows a cleaner function in some implementations (such as those with lightweight threads) and resolves questions about when the application must copy the string returned.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

None.
