gbatch_varadd - create a variable
int gbatch_varadd(const int fd, apiBtvar *vard)
The function gbatch_varadd is used to create a new variable.
fd is a file descriptor which was previously returned by a successful call to gbatch_open(3).
vard is a pointer to a structure which contains the details of the new variable.
The function returns 0 if successful, otherwise an error code as defined in the include file \fBgbatch.h\fR.
int fd, ret int apiBtvar outv;
fd = gbatch_open("myhost", (char *) 0); if (fd < 0) { /* error handling */ ... } memset((void *)&outv, '\0', sizeof(outv)); strcpy(outv.var_name, "var1"); strcpy(outv.var_comment, "A comment"); outv.var_value.const_type = CON_LONG; outv.var_value.con_un.con_long = 1; outv.var_mode.u_flags = VALLMODES; ret = gbatch_varadd(fd, &outv); if (ret < 0) { /* error handling */ ... } gbatch_close(fd);
