SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lslp [ library... ]
#include <slp.h>
SLPError SLPFindAttrs(SLPHandle hSLP, const char *pcURL,
const char *pcScopeList, const char *pcAttrIds,
SLPAttrCallback *callback, void *pvCookie);
DESCRIPTION
The SLPFindAttrs() function returns service attributes matching the
attribute tags for the indicated full or partial URL.If pcURL is a
complete URL, the attribute information returned is for that particular
service in the language locale of the SLPHandle. If pcURL is a ser‐
vice type, then all attributes for the service type are returned,
regardless of the language of registration. Results are returned
through the callback parameter.
The result is filtered with an SLP attribute request filter string
parameter, the syntax of which is described in RFC 2608. If
the filter string is the empty string, "", all attributes are
returned.
If an error occurs in starting the operation, one of the SLPError codes
is returned.
