lb_lookup_range(3ncs)					 lb_lookup_range(3ncs)

Name
       lb_lookup_range	-  look	 up information in a Global Location Broker or
       Local Location Broker database

Syntax
       #include <idl/c/lb.h>

       void lb_$lookup_range(object, obj_type, obj_interface, location,
					    location_length, lookup_handle, max_num_results,
					    num_results, results, status)
       uuid_$t *object;
       uuid_$t *obj_type;
       uuid_$t *obj_interface;
       socket_$addr_t *location;
       unsigned long location_length;
       lb_$lookup_handle_t *lookup_handle;
       unsigned long max_num_results;
       unsigned long *num_results;
       lb_$entry_t results[ ];
       status_$t *status);

Arguments
       object		   The UUID of the object being looked up.

       obj_type		   The UUID of the type being looked up.

       obj_interface	   The UUID of the interface being looked up.

       location		   The location of the database to  be	searched.   If
			   the value of location_length is 0, the GLB database
			   is searched.	 Otherwise, the LLB  database  at  the
			   host	 specified  by	location  is searched; in this
			   case, the port number  in  the  socket  address  is
			   ignored,  and the lookup request is sent to the LLB
			   port.

       location_length	   The length, in bytes, of the socket address	speci‐
			   fied by the location field.	A value of 0 indicates
			   that the GLB database is to be searched.

       lookup_handle	   A  location	in  the	 database.   On	  input,   the
			   lookup_handle  indicates  the location in the data‐
			   base where the search begins.  An  input  value  of
			   lb_$default_lookup_handle specifies that the search
			   will start at the beginning of  the	database.   On
			   return,   the   lookup_handle  indicates  the  next
			   unsearched part of the database (that is, the point
			   at  which  the next search should begin).  A return
			   value of lb_$default_lookup_handle  indicates  that
			   the	search	reached	 the  end of the database; any
			   other return value indicates that the search	 found
			   at  most max_num_results matching entries before it
			   reached the end of the database.

       max_num_results	   The maximum number of entries that can be  returned
			   by  a single routine.  This should be the number of
			   elements in the results array.

       num_results	   The number of entries that  were  returned  in  the
			   results array.

       results		   An  array  that  contains the matching GLB database
			   entries,  up	 to  the  number  specified   by   the
			   max_num_results  parameter.	 If the array contains
			   any entries for servers on the local network, those
			   entries appear first.

       status		   The	completion  status.   If the completion status
			   returned in is equal to status_$ok , then the  rou‐
			   tine that supplied it was successful.

Description
       The  routine  returns  database	entries	 whose	object,	 obj_type, and
       obj_interface fields match the specified values.	 A value of  uuid_$nil
       in  any of these input parameters acts as a wildcard and will match any
       value in the corresponding entry field.	You can specify	 wildcards  in
       any combination of these parameters.

       The routine cannot return more than max_num_results matching entries at
       a time.	The lookup_handle parameter enables you to find	 all  matching
       entries by doing sequential lookups.

       If  you	use a sequence of lookup routines to find entries in the data‐
       base, it is possible that the returned results will skip	 or  duplicate
       entries.	  This is because the Location Broker does not prevent modifi‐
       cation of the database  between	lookups,  and  such  modification  can
       change the locations of entries relative to a lookup_handle value.

       It  is  also  possible that the results of a single lookup routine will
       skip or duplicate entries.  This can occur if the size of  the  results
       exceeds the size of an RPC packet (64K bytes).

Examples
       The  following statement looks up information in the GLB database about
       servers that export the matrix interface for any objects of type array.
       The variable glb is defined elsewhere as a null pointer.
       lb_$lookup_range(&uuid_$nil, &array_id, &matrix_id, glb, 0,
			    &lookup_handle, max_results,
			    &num_results, results, &status);

Diagnostics
       This section lists status codes for errors returned by this routine in

       lb_$database_invalid
			   The	format	of the Location Broker database is out
			   of date.  The database may have been created by  an
			   old	version	 of the Location Broker; in this case,
			   delete the out-of-date database and reregister  any
			   entries that it contained.  The LLB or GLB that was
			   accessed may be running  out-of-date	 software;  in
			   this	 case, update all Location Brokers to the cur‐
			   rent software version.

       lb_$database_busy   The Location Broker database is currently in use in
			   an incompatible manner.

       lb_$not_registered  The	Location Broker does not have any entries that
			   match the  criteria	specified  in  the  lookup  or
			   unregister  routine.	  The  requested object, type,
			   interface, or combination thereof is not registered
			   in  the specified database.	If you are using an or
			   routine specifying an  LLB,	check  that  you  have
			   specified the correct LLB.

       lb_$cant_access	   The	Location  Broker  cannot  access the database.
			   Among the possible reasons:

			   1. The database does not exist.

			   2. The database exists,  but	 the  Location	Broker
			   cannot access it.

       lb_$server_unavailable
			   The	Location  Broker Client Agent cannot reach the
			   requested LLB.  A communications  failure  occurred
			   or the broker was not running.
