NAME

       dpns_starttrans - start transaction mode

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include "dpns_api.h"

       int dpns_starttrans (char *server, char *comment);

DESCRIPTION

       dpns_starttrans starts transaction mode.  The connection to the Name Server is kept open until one of the
       DB update operation fails or dpns_aborttrans or dpns_endtrans is explicitly called.  If all the DB update
       operations  between dpns_starttrans and dpns_endtrans are successful, a COMMIT is done.  If any DB update
       operation fails or if an explicit dpns_aborttrans is done, a ROLLBACK is done.  The comment is logged  in
       the server log.

RETURN VALUE

       This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case,
       serrno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

       EINVAL       The length of comment exceeds CA_MAXCOMMENTLEN.

       SENOSHOST    Host unknown.

       SENOSSERV    Service unknown.

       SECOMERR     Communication error.

       ENSNACT      Name server is not running or is being shutdown.
