ixp_namespace3

Usage

#include <ixp.h>
char *ixp_namespace(void);

Overview

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.

Return value

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