encap_platform_name(3)          C Library Calls         encap_platform_name(3)


NAME

       encap_platform_name, encap20_platform_name, encap_platform_split,
       encap_platform_compat - manipulate Encap platform names


SYNOPSIS

       #include <encap.h>

       char *encap_platform_name(char *buf, size_t bufsize);
       char *encap20_platform_name(char *buf, size_t bufsize);
       int encap_platform_split(char *pkg_platform, char *base, size_t
       baselen, char *suffix, size_t suffixlen);
       int encap_platform_compat(char *pkg_platform, char *host_platform,
       encap_list_t *host_suffix_l);


VERSION

       This man page documents version 2.3 of libencap.


DESCRIPTION

       The encap_platform_name() function writes the name of the host platform
       into the buffer pointed to by buf with size bufsize.

       The encap20_platform_name() function is identical to the
       encap_platform_name() function, except that it writes the obsolete
       Encap 2.0 platform name instead of the Encap 2.1 platform name.

       The encap_platform_split() function splits a package's platform name
       into the base platform name (which is written to the buffer base of
       length baselen) and the platform suffix (which is written to the buffer
       suffix of length suffixlen).

       The encap_platform_compat() function checks a package's platform name
       (pkg_platform) for compatibility with the host platform (host_platform)
       and the allowable suffix list (host_suffix_l).


RETURN VALUES

       The encap_platform_name() function returns a pointer to buf.

       The encap20_platform_name() function returns a pointer to buf.

       The encap_platform_split() function returns 0 on success, or -1 on
       failure (and sets errno).

       The encap_platform_compat() function returns 0 if the platform is not
       compatible, 1 if the platform is compatible, or -1 on failure (and sets
       errno).
