nameindex(3)

nameindex3

Concatenate a name and index with user separator

Synopsys

#include "mut.h"
char ∗nameindex(s, i)
char ∗s;
long i;

Parameters

s

Pointer to a string

t

Long integer

Overview

The nameindex function adds the separator defined by MBK_SEPAR(1), and then the string version of i at the end of string s. This is not like a strcat(3) of the standard library, because s is not beeing modified.
The string returned has already been put in the names dictionary by a call to namealloc(3).

Return value

nameindex returns a pointer to a string in the name hash table.

Examples

#include "mut.h"
#include "mlo.h"
void a_sig_name(ptsig)
losig_list ∗ptsig;
{
	return pt->NAMECHAIN ? (char ∗)(pt->NAMECHAIN->DATA)
				: nameindex("mbk_sig", pt->INDEX);
}
