Updates, deletes, or creates an attribute object in the Customized Attribute (CuAt) object class.
Object Data Manager Library (libodm.a)
#include <cf.h> #include <sys/cfgodm.h> #include <sys/cfgdb.h> int putattr (cuobj) struct CuAt *cuobj;
| cuobj | Specifies the attribute object. |
The putattr device configuration subroutine either updates an old attribute object, creates a new object for the attribute information, or deletes an existing object in the CuAt object class. The putattr subroutine queries the CuAt object class to determine whether an object already exists with the device name and attribute name specified by the cuobj parameter.
If the attribute is found in the CuAt object class and its value (as given in the cuobj parameter) is to be changed back to the default value for this attribute, the customized object is deleted. Otherwise, the customized object is simply updated.
If the attribute object does not already exist and its attribute value is being changed to a non-default value, a new object is added to the CuAt object class with the information given in the cuobj parameter.
Note: The putattr device configuration subroutine will fail unless you first call the odm_initialize subroutine.
