NAME

snidtox25, linkidtox25 - convert a subnetwork or link character string to subnetwork or link identifier

INTERFACE

X.25 Network Layer Interface (NLI).

LIBRARY

X.25 Support Library, libsx25(3).

SYNOPSIS

#include <netx25/x25_proto.h>
#include <netx25/xnetdb.h>

unsigned long snidtox25(unsigned char *snid);

unsigned long linkidtox25(unsigned char *linkid);

ARGUMENTS

snid

the unsigned character string subnetwork identifier.

linkid

the unsigned character string link identifier.

DESCRIPTION

Provides a mechanism whereby a user can convert an unsigned character string representing a subnetwork identifier, snid, or link identifier, linkid, to an unsigned long subnetwork or link identifier (significant to 32-bits), without knowledge of the details of the conversion.

RETURN

Upon success snidtox25 and linkidtox25 return the unsigned long subnetwork identifier or link identifier, respectively. These identifiers are non-negative numbers. Upon failure, snidtox25 and linkidtox25 return minus one (-1UL).

ERRORS

snidtox25 or linkidtox25 fail when:

[EINVAL]

the supplied unsigned character string, snid or linkid was NULL or invalid.

BUGS

snidtox25 and linkidtox25 have no known bugs.

SEE ALSO

x25tosnid(3), x25tolinkid(3), libsx25(3).

COMPATIBILITY

snidtox25 and linkidtox25 are compatible with Spider X.25, and implementations based on Spider X.25, such as AIXlink/X.25[1], HP-UX[2], IRIS SX.25[3], Solstice X.25[4], PT X.25[5], SBE X.25[6], with the following compatibility considerations:

---

Solstice X.25[7] refers to the subnetwork identifier as a link identifier.

For additional compatibiltiy information see, libsx25(3), and STREAMS(9).

CONFORMANCE

AIXlink/X.25[1], HP-UX[2], IRIS SX.25[3], Solstice X.25[4], PT X.25[5], SBE X.25[6], documentation.

HISTORY

snidtoX25 first appeared in Spider X.25. linkidtox25 first appeared in Solstice X.25[7].
