acfssettag

Purpose

Sets the tag name on an Oracle ACFS file. For additional information, refer to "acfsutil tag set Opens a new window ".

Syntax

sb8 acfssettag(const oratext *path, const oratext *tagname, oratext *value, 
               size_t size, ub4 flags);

Table 18-6 Opens a new window contains the options available with the acfssettag command.

Table 18-6 Options for the acfssettag command

Option	Description
`path`	Specifies a pointer to a file or directory path name.
`tagname`	Specifies a pointer to a NULL-terminated Oracle ACFS tag name in the format of a valid tag name for regular files and directories.
`value`	Specifies the memory buffer to set the Oracle ACFS tag value.
`size`	Specifies the byte size of the Oracle ACFS tag value.
`flags`	Reserved for future use. Must be set to 0.

Description

The acfssettag library call sets a tag name on an Oracle ACFS file. The return value is ACFS_TAG_SUCCESS or ACFS_TAG_FAIL. For information about operating system-specific extended error information values that may be obtained when an ACFS_TAG_FAIL is returned, refer to "Oracle ACFS Tagging Error Values Opens a new window ".

Because Oracle ACFS tag names currently use a fixed value string of 0 (the number zero character with a byte length of one) the value is the same for all Oracle ACFS tag name entries.

Examples

Example 18-6 Opens a new window is an example of the use of the acfssettag function call.

Example 18-6 Setting file tags

sb8 rc;
size_t size;
const oratext *value ;
const oratext *path= "/mnt/dir1/dir2/file2";
const oratext *tagname = "patch_set_11_1";
value = "0"; /* zero */
size = 1; (byte)
rc = acfssettag (path, tagname, (oratext *)value, size, 0);
If (rc == ACFS_TAG_FAIL)
  /* check errno and GetLastError() to process error returns */
