NAME

       genders_getnodes - get nodes from the genders file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <genders.h>

       int genders_getnodes(genders_t handle, char *nodes[], int len, const char *attr, const char *val);

DESCRIPTION

       genders_getnodes()  gets the names of nodes in the genders file that have the attribute specified by attr
       and the value specified by val.  The nodes are stored in the list pointed to by nodes.  len indicates the
       number  of  nodes  that  can  be stored in the list.  If attr is NULL, genders_getnodes() returns all the
       nodes listed in the genders file.  If val is NULL, attribute values are ignored.

       To avoid passing in a list that is not large enough to store all the nodes, genders_getnumnodes(3) should
       be   used   to   determine   the   minimum   number   of   elements   nodes  should  be  able  to  store.
       genders_nodelist_create(3) could be used to create a list that is guaranteed to be large enough to  store
       all of the nodes.

RETURN VALUES

       On success, the number of nodes stored in nodes 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 list pointed to by nodes is not large enough to store all the nodes.

       GENDERS_ERR_PARAMETERS
              An incorrect parameter has been passed in.

       GENDERS_ERR_NULLPTR
              A null pointer has been found in the list 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).
