host name management for SCOadmin applications
Synopsis
SaHostGetLocalName
SaHostGetManagedName
SaHostExtractSystemName host
SaHostExtractDomain host
SaHostsGet
SaHostCheck host
SaHostRemoteOsaAccessible
Description
These interfaces provide convenient handling of host names in the networked
environment. An application can obtain a fully qualified domain name
for the local host as well as the remote host being managed. This in
turn can be parsed to extract either the domain or the unqualified system
name.
SaHostsGet uses the local host's name service to
obtain a list of all known
host names on the network. This is ideal for a user interface based on
a point and pick list of host names.
SaHostCheck determines whether or not the
specified host is known to the
name service of the local host. It returns true (1) or false (0) accordingly.
SaHostRemoteOsaAccessible provides a simple
boolean test for whether or
not remote services are available through the SCOadmin framework. If the
local host provides networking services and is properly attached to a live
network, a remote OSA is considered accessible.
Arguments
- host
-
fully qualified host name
