NAME

       genders_getnodename - get the current node name

SYNOPSIS

       #include <genders.h>

       int genders_getnodename(genders_t handle, char *node, int len);

DESCRIPTION

       genders_getnodename()  retrieves  the  name  of the node that the function is being called
       from.  The node name returned is the shortened hostname of the node and is stored  in  the
       buffer  pointed  to  be  node.   len  should  indicate the length of the buffer.  The node
       returned by genders_getnodename() is the shortened hostname of the node.

       To avoid passing  in  a  buffer  that  is  not  large  enough  to  store  the  node  name,
       genders_getmaxnodelen(3)  should  be used to determine the minimum buffer size that should
       be used.

RETURN VALUES

       On success, 0 is returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and an error  code  is  returned  in
       handle.   The error code can be retrieved via genders_errnum(3) , and a description of the
       error code  can  be  retrieved  via  genders_strerror(3).   Error  codes  are  defined  in
       genders.h.

ERRORS

       GENDERS_ERR_NULLHANDLE
              The   handle   parameter  is  NULL.   The  genders  handle  must  be  created  with
              genders_handle_create(3).

       GENDERS_ERR_NOTLOADED
              genders_load_data(3) has not been called to load genders data.

       GENDERS_ERR_OVERFLOW
              The buffer pointed to by node is not large enough to store the node name.

       GENDERS_ERR_PARAMETERS
              An incorrect parameter has been passed in.

       GENDERS_ERR_MAGIC
              handle has an incorrect magic number.  handle does not point to a genders handle or
              handle has been destroyed by genders_handle_destroy(3).
