encap_platform_name(3) C Library Calls encap_platform_name(3)NAME
encap_platform_name, encap20_platform_name, encap_platform_split,
encap_platform_compat - manipulate Encap platform names
SYNOPSIS
#include <encap.h>
char *encap_platform_name(char *buf, size_t bufsize);
char *encap20_platform_name(char *buf, size_t bufsize);
int encap_platform_split(char *pkg_platform, char *base, size_t base‐
len, char *suffix, size_t suffixlen);
int encap_platform_compat(char *pkg_platform, char *host_platform,
encap_list_t *host_suffix_l);
VERSION
This man page documents version 2.3 of libencap.
DESCRIPTION
The encap_platform_name() function writes the name of the host platform
into the buffer pointed to by buf with size bufsize.
The encap20_platform_name() function is identical to the encap_plat‐
form_name() function, except that it writes the obsolete Encap 2.0
platform name instead of the Encap 2.1 platform name.
The encap_platform_split() function splits a package's platform name
into the base platform name (which is written to the buffer base of
length baselen) and the platform suffix (which is written to the buffer
suffix of length suffixlen).
The encap_platform_compat() function checks a package's platform name
(pkg_platform) for compatibility with the host platform (host_platform)
and the allowable suffix list (host_suffix_l).
RETURN VALUES
The encap_platform_name() function returns a pointer to buf.
The encap20_platform_name() function returns a pointer to buf.
The encap_platform_split() function returns 0 on success, or -1 on
failure (and sets errno).
The encap_platform_compat() function returns 0 if the platform is not
compatible, 1 if the platform is compatible, or -1 on failure (and sets
errno).
