NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     getspinfo - get service provider information

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <sys/extacct.h>
     #include <unistd.h>

     int getspinfo(struct acct_spi *spi);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The getspinfo function stores the service provider	information for	the
     array session containing the current process into the acct_spi struct
     pointed to	by spi.

     The service provider information for an array session is normally
     inherited from the	array session of the process that created it, or it
     can be changed with the privileged	setspinfo(2) function.	For more
     details on	service	provider information, see the man pages	for
     setspinfo(2).

     getspinfo is provided primarily for compatibility with previous releases
     of	IRIX.  A somewhat more general mechanism for doing the same thing is
     provided by the ARSOP_GETSPI function of arsop(2).

SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]

     arsop(2), newarraysess(2),	setspinfo(2), array_sessions(5), extacct(5).

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

     getspinfo returns 0 if successful,	or a negative value if an error
     occurred.
