Macros

#define GLOBUS_COMMON_MODULE (&globus_i_common_module)
Globus Common Module Descriptor. #define GLOBUS_TILDE_EXPAND
Expand ~. #define GLOBUS_TILDE_USER_EXPAND
Expand ~user. #define GLOBUS_TRUE 1
True value for globus_bool_t. #define GLOBUS_FALSE 0
False value for globus_bool_t. #define GLOBUS_SUCCESS 0
Generic success result

Most Globus API functions return this value to indicate success, or some error constant or globus_result_t to indicate an error. " #define GLOBUS_FAILURE -1
Generic failure result

Some Globus API functions without good error handling return this value to indicate some undetermined error occurred. "

Typedefs

typedef size_t globus_size_t
Standard size of memory object

The globus_size_t is the size of a memory object. It is identical to size_t in all cases and doesn't need to be used ever. " typedef socklen_t globus_socklen_t
Size of a socket length parameter. typedef unsigned char globus_byte_t
Unsigned byte datatype

This is used for byte-addressable arrays of arbitrary data which is not subject to sign extension. " typedef int globus_bool_t
Boolean type. typedef uint32_t globus_result_t

Functions

globus_result_t globus_eval_path (const char *pathstring, char **bufp)
int globus_tilde_expand (unsigned long options, globus_bool_t url_form, char *inpath, char **outpath)
Expand ~ and/or ~user in path strings.

typedef int globus_bool_t

Boolean type. Set values to either the constant GLOBUS_TRUE and GLOBUS_FALSE

typedef uint32_t globus_result_t

Weak pointer to a Globus Error object, or the special value GLOBUS_SUCCESS

typedef socklen_t globus_socklen_t

Size of a socket length parameter. The globus_socklen_t type is part of the POSIX socket interface and is also available in winsock2.h. In older UNIX implementations, this was variously a size_t or an int.

globus_result_t globus_eval_path (const char * pathstring, char ** bufp)

Parameters:

int globus_tilde_expand (unsigned long options, globus_bool_t url_form, char * inpath, char ** outpath)

Expand ~ and/or ~user in path strings. Expand the leading ~ (or ~user) characters from inpath to the home directory path of the current user (or user specified in ~user); the result is stored in a newly allocated buffer *outpath (which will need to be freed by a call to globus_free.) The string following the ~/or ~user/ is copied verbatim to the output string.

Parameters:
