       nbp_name — NBP name parsing

Synopsis

              int nbp_name(name,
                  obj,
                  type,
                  zone);
              char *name;
              char **obj;
              char **type;
              char **zone;

Description

       nbp_name()  parses  user  supplied names into their component object, type, and zone. obj, type, and zone
       should be passed by reference, and should point to the caller’s default values.  nbp_name()  will  change
       the pointers to the parsed-out values. name is of the form object:type@zone, where each of object, :type,
       and  @zone  replace  obj,  type,  and zone, respectively. type must be proceeded by `:’, and zone must be
       preceded by `@’.

Examples

       The argument of afpd(8)’s -n option is parsed with nbp_name(). The default value  of  obj  is  the  first
       component  of  the  machine’s  hostname  (as  returned by gethostbyname(3)). The default value of type is
       “AFPServer”, and of zone is “*”, the default zone. To cause afpd to register itself in  some  zone  other
       than the default, one would invoke it as below where obj and type would retain their default values.

              afpd -n @some-other-zone

Bugs

       obj, type, and zone return pointers into static area which may be over-written on each call.
