struct dpns_direnrep *dpns_readdirxp (dpns_DIR *dirp, char *pattern, char *se)

dpns_readdirxp reads the DPNS directory opened by dpns_opendir in the name server. It does restricted pattern matching on basename. This routine returns a pointer to a structure containing the current directory entry (basename, guid and filesize) and the replica information.

struct dpns_rep_info {
	u_signed64	fileid;
	char		status;
	char		*host;
	char		*sfn;
};

struct dpns_direnrep {
	u_signed64	fileid;
	char		guid[CA_MAXGUIDLEN+1];
	mode_t		filemode;
	u_signed64	filesize;
	int		nbreplicas;
	struct dpns_rep_info *rep;	/* array of replica info structures */
	unsigned short	d_reclen;	/* length of this entry */
	char		d_name[1];	/* basename in variable length */
};

dpns_readdirxp caches a variable number of such entries, depending on the filename size, to minimize the number of requests to the name server.

dirp

specifies the pointer value returned by dpns_opendir.

pattern

allows to restrict the listing to entries having the basename starting with this pattern.

se

allows to restrict the replica entries to a given SE.

This routine returns a pointer to a structure containing the current directory entry if the operation was successful or NULL if the end of the directory was reached or if the operation failed. When the end of the directory is encountered, serrno is not changed. If the operation failed, serrno is set appropriately.

As dpns_readdirxp returns a null pointer both at the end of the directory and on error, an application wishing to check for error situations should set serrno to 0, then call dpns_readdirxp, then check serrno and if it is non-zero, assume an error has occurred.

EBADF

File descriptor in DIR structure is invalid.

ENOMEM

Memory could not be allocated for unmarshalling the reply.

EFAULT

dirp is a NULL pointer.

EINVAL

The length of pattern exceeds CA_MAXNAMELEN or the length of se exceeds CA_MAXHOSTNAMELEN.

SECOMERR

Communication error.

ENSNACT

Name server is not running or is being shutdown.
