srv_getobjid

Look up the object ID for a message queue or mutex with a specified name.

CS_RETCODE srv_getobjid(obj_type, obj_namep,

                     obj_namelen, obj_idp, infop)

CS_INT           obj_type;
CS_CHAR      *obj_namep;
CS_INT           obj_namelen;
SRV_OBJID    *obj_idp;
CS_INT          *infop;

obj_type: Indicates whether the object is a mutex (SRV_C_MUTEX) or a message queue SRV_C_MQUEUE).

obj_namep: A pointer to a CS_CHAR buffer that contains the name of the object.

obj_namelen: The length of the string in *obj_namep. If the string is null terminated, obj_namelen can be CS_NULLTERM.

obj_idp: A pointer to a SRV_OBJID structure that will receive the identifier for the object, if found.

infop

A pointer to a CS_INT. The following table describes the possible values returned in *infop if srv_getobjid returns CS_FAIL:

**Table 3-52: Values for infop (srv_getobjid)**
Value	Meaning
SRV_I_NOEXIST	The object does not exist.
SRV_I_UNKNOWN	Some other error occurred, for example, a null object name.

**Table 3-53: Return values (srv_getobjid)**
Returns	To indicate
CS_SUCCEED	The routine completed successfully.
CS_FAIL	The routine failed.

/*

 ** EX_SRV_GETOBJID

**   An example routine to retrieve the object id for a specified

 **   message queue or mutex name.

** Arguments:

**   obj_type  SRV_C_MUTEX if requesting a mutex object id, and

 **             SRV_C_MQUEUE if requesting a message queue object

id.

**   obj_name  A null terminated string which specifies the name

 **             of the message queue or the mutex.

**   obj_idp   A pointer to a SRV_OBJID structure that will store

 **             the identifier for the object.

** Returns:

**   CS_SUCCEED    If the object id was retrieved

                    successfully.

**   SRV_I_NOEXIST   If the object does not exist.

** CS_FAIL    If the object was not retrieved due to an error

Open Server maintains a table that maps the unique object identifiers of message queues and mutexes to their names. Given the name, srv_getobjid finds the identifier.
