NAME¶
dpns_starttrans - start transaction mode
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <sys/types.h>
#include "dpns_api.h"
int dpns_starttrans (char *server, char
*comment);
DESCRIPTION¶
dpns_starttrans starts transaction mode. The connection to the Name
Server is kept open until one of the DB update operation fails or
dpns_aborttrans or
dpns_endtrans is explicitly called. If all
the DB update operations between
dpns_starttrans and
dpns_endtrans are successful, a COMMIT is done. If any DB update
operation fails or if an explicit
dpns_aborttrans is done, a ROLLBACK
is done. The
comment is logged in the server log.
RETURN VALUE¶
This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation
failed. In the latter case,
serrno is set appropriately.
ERRORS¶
- EINVAL
- The length of comment exceeds
CA_MAXCOMMENTLEN.
- SENOSHOST
- Host unknown.
- SENOSSERV
- Service unknown.
- SECOMERR
- Communication error.
- ENSNACT
- Name server is not running or is being shutdown.
