SLPREG(3SLP)SLPREG(3SLP)NAMESLPReg - register an SLP advertisement
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lslp [ library... ]
#include <slp.h>
SLPError SLPReg(SLPHandle hSLP, const char *pcSrvURL,
const unsigned short usLifetime, const char *pcSrvType,
const char *pcAttrs, SLPBoolean fresh,
SLPRegReport callback, void *pvCookie);
DESCRIPTION
The SLPReg() function registers the URL in pcSrvURL having the
lifetime usLifetime with the attribute list in pcAttrs. The pcAt‐
trs list is a comma-separated list of attribute assignments in on-
the-wire format (including escaping of reserved characters). The
sLifetime parameter must be nonzero and less than or equal to
SLP_LIFETIME_MAXIMUM. If the fresh flag is SLP_TRUE, then the regis‐
tration is new, the SLP protocol fresh flag is set, and the regis‐
tration replaces any existing registrations.
The pcSrvType parameter is a service type name and can be included for
service URLs that are not in the service: scheme. If the URL is in
the service: scheme, the pcSrvType parameter is ignored. If the fresh
flag is SLP_FALSE, then an existing registration is updated. Rules for
new and updated registrations, and the format for pcAttrs and
pcScopeList, can be found in RFC 2608. Registrations and updates take
place in the language locale of the hSLP handle.
The API library is required to perform the operation in all scopes
obtained through configuration.
PARAMETERS
hSLP
The language specific SLPHandle on which to register
the advertisement. hSLP cannot be NULL.
pcSrvURL
The URL to register. The value of pcSrvURL cannot be
NULL or the empty string.
usLifetime
An unsigned short giving the life time of the service
advertisement, in seconds. The value must be an unsigned
integer less than or equal to SLP_LIFETIME_MAXIMUM.
pcSrvType
The service type. If pURL is a service: URL, then this
parameter is ignored. pcSrvType cannot be NULL.
pcAttrs
A comma-separated list of attribute assignment
expressions for the attributes of the advertisement.
pcAttrs cannot be NULL. Use the empty string, "",
to indicate no attributes.
fresh
An SLPBoolean that is SLP_TRUE if the registration is new
or SLP_FALSE if it is a reregistration.
callback
A callback to report the operation completion status.
callback cannot be NULL.
pvCookie
Memory passed to the callback code from the client.
pvCookie can be NULL.
ERRORS
This function or its callback may return any SLP error code. See the
ERRORS section in slp_api(3SLP).
EXAMPLES
Example 1 An Initial Registration
The following example shows an initial registration for the "ser‐
vice:video://bldg15" camera service for three hours:
SLPError err;
SLPHandle hSLP;
SLPRegReport regreport;
err = SLPReg(hSLP, "service:video://bldg15",
10800, "", "(location=B15-corridor),
(scan-rate=100)", SLP_TRUE,
regRpt, NULL);
