HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 NOF Programmer's Guide

NOF API Verbs
QUERY_NMVT_APPLICATION
Maximum number of applications for which data should be returned. To request data for a specific application
rather than a range, specify the value 1. To return as many entries as possible, specify zero; in this case,
SNAplus2 will return the maximum number of entries that can be accommodated in the supplied data buffer.
list_options
The position in the list of applications from which SNAplus2 should begin to return data. Possible values are:
AP_FIRST_IN_LIST
Start at the first entry in the list.
AP_LIST_INCLUSIVE
Start at the entry specified by the application parameter.
AP_LIST_FROM_NEXT
Start at the entry immediately following the entry specified by the application parameter.
For more information about how the list is ordered and how the application can obtain specific entries from
it, see Section 2.7,
List Options For QUERY_* Verbs.
application
Application name. This parameter is ignored if list_options is set to AP_FIRST_IN_LIST. The name is an
8-byte type-A EBCDIC string, padded on the right with spaces if the name is shorter than 8 characters.
3.140.3 Returned Parameters: Successful Execution
If the verb executes successfully, SNAplus2 returns the following parameters:
primary_rc
AP_OK
buf_size
Length of the information returned in the supplied buffer.
total_buf_size
Returned value indicating the size of buffer that would have been required to return all the list information
requested. A value greater than buf_size indicates that not all the available entries were returned.
num_entries
Number of entries returned in the data buffer.
total_num_entries
Total number of entries available. A value greater than num_entries indicates that not all the available entries
were returned.
Each entry in the data buffer consists of the following parameters:
nmvt_application_data.overlay_size
The size of the returned
nmvt_application_data structure, and therefore the offset to the start of the next entry
in the data buffer.
When your application needs to go through the returned buffer to find each
nmvt_application_data structure in
turn, it must use this value to move to the correct offset for the next data structure, and must not use the
C sizeof() operator. This is because the size of the returned overlay may increase in future releases of
SNAplus2; using the returned overlay size ensures that your application will continue to work with future
releases.
