DESCRIPTION

       These functions return information about the server.

       Many of the functions return pointers to strings or other types of information which, in most cases,  you
       must not free. These are denoted as "read-only" in the sections below.

       Ns_InfoAddress()
              Return  the server IP address of the server. The IP address is defined in the server configuration
              file. The IP address is returned as a string pointer which you must treat  as  read-only.  If  you
              want  to alter the string, you must use ns_strdup to copy the string to another location in memory
              and modify that instead.

       Ns_InfoBootTime()
              Return the time that the server was started as an int. Treat the result as time_t.

       Ns_InfoBuildDate()
              Return the date and time that this server was compiled as a string pointer. Treat  the  result  as
              read-only.

       Ns_InfoConfigFile()
              Return  the  absolute  path  name  of the configuration file in use as a string pointer. Treat the
              result as read-only.

       Ns_InfoErrorLog()
              Return the name of the error log as a string pointer. Treat the result as read-only. The name  may
              be  just  a name, a relative path or an absolute path depending on how it is defined in the server
              configuration file.

       Ns_InfoHomePath()
              Return the absolute directory path where AOLserver is installed as a  string  pointer.  Treat  the
              result as read-only.

       Ns_InfoHostname()
              Return  the  hostname  of  the  host  that  AOLserver  is  running  on  as  a  string pointer. The
              gethostname(2) function is used. If gethostname(2) fails to return a hostname, "localhost" is used
              instead. Treat the result as read-only.

       Ns_InfoLabel()
              Return  the source code label for AOLserver as a string pointer.  Statically defined in the source
              code. If no label was used, "unlabeled" is returned. You can use these functions  to  provide  the
              source code label when you report problems with the server. Treat the result as read-only.

       Ns_InfoNameOfExecutable()
              Return the name of the running executable as a string pointer. Treat the result as read-only.

       Ns_InfoPid()
              Return the pid of the running AOLserver executable as an int.

       Ns_InfoPlatform()
              Return the platform name as a string pointer, e.g. "linux". Treat the result as read-only.

       Ns_InfoServerName()
              Return  the  AOLserver name string, e.g. "AOLserver". Statically defined in the source code. Treat
              the result as read-only.

       Ns_InfoServerVersion()
              Return the AOLserver version string, e.g. "3.5.2". Statically defined in the  source  code.  Treat
              the result as read-only.

       Ns_InfoServersStarted()
              Return  TRUE  if  the  server has started, i.e., if initialization and module loading is complete.
              This is a compatibility function that calls Ns_InfoStarted.

       Ns_InfoShutdownPending()
              Return TRUE if there is there a shutdown pending, i.e. if an INTR signal has been received  or  if
              ns_shutdown has been called.

       Ns_InfoStarted()
              Return TRUE if the server has started, i.e., if initialization and module loading is complete.

       Ns_InfoTag()
              Return  the  CVS  tag of this build of AOLserver. Statically defined in the source code. The value
              may be meaningless. Treat the result as read-only.

       Ns_InfoUptime()
              Return how long, in seconds, AOLserver has been running.

       Ns_PageRoot(server)
              Return the path name of the AOLserver pages directory for a particular server as a string pointer.
              The server argument is not used.  Treat the result as read-only.
