ixp_namespace (3)

#include <ixp.h>

char *ixp_namespace(void);

Returns the path of the canonical 9p namespace directory. Either the value of $NAMESPACE, if it's set, or, roughly, /tmp/ns.${USER}.${DISPLAY:%.0=%}. In the latter case, the directory is created if it doesn't exist, and it is ensured to be owned by the current user, with no group or other permissions.

A statically allocated string which must not be freed or altered by the caller. The same value is returned upon successive calls.

This function is not thread safe until after its first call.
