SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>
#include "dpm_api.h"

int dpm_put (int nbreqfiles, struct dpm_putfilereq *reqfiles, int nbprotocols, char **protocols, char *u_token, int overwrite, time_t retrytime, char *r_token, int *nbreplies, struct dpm_putfilestatus **filestatuses)

DESCRIPTION

dpm_put makes a set of existing files available for I/O.

The input arguments are:

nbreqfiles

specifies the number of files belonging to the request.

reqfiles

specifies the array of file requests (dpm_putfilereq structures).

struct dpm_putfilereq {
        char            *to_surl;
        time_t  lifetime;
        time_t  f_lifetime;
        char            f_type;
        char            s_token[CA_MAXDPMTOKENLEN+1];
        char            ret_policy;
        char            ac_latency;
        u_signed64      requested_size;
};

nbprotocols

specifies the number of protocols.

protocols

specifies the array of protocols.

u_token

specifies the user provided description associated with the request.

overwrite

if set to 1, it allows to overwrite an existing file.

retrytime

This field is currently ignored.

The output arguments are:

r_token

Address of a buffer to receive the system allocated token. The buffer must be at least CA_MAXDPMTOKENLEN+1 characters long.

nbreplies

will be set to the number of replies in the array of file statuses.

filestatuses

will be set to the address of an array of dpm_putfilestatus structures allocated by the API. The client application is responsible for freeing the array when not needed anymore.

struct dpm_putfilestatus {
        char            *to_surl;
        char            *turl;
        u_signed64      filesize;
        int             status;
        char            *errstring;
        time_t  pintime;
        time_t  f_lifetime;
};

RETURN VALUE

This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately.
