SSO_GetSegmentRootPath --
get the storage section root pathname
Syntax
SSO_GetSegmentRootPath SHARED|PRIVATE patchArea
Description
SSO_GetSegmentRootPath allows the caller
to determine the location of its
component within a storage section. It provides a full filesystem pathname
leading to the root of the appropriate storage section which can then
be used to locate additional executable files
(such as ``backend'' programs) and
private data files used for software configuration.
Arguments
SHARED|PRIVATE-
specifies one of two regions of the storage section. Executable applications
will themselves most likely be located in the SHARED
region whereas private,
modifiable data files, e.g. for configuration, will be located in the
PRIVATE region.
patchArea-
data structure in the executable application image that has been patched with
the correct Storage Section name via
ssoPatch(CDMT).
Return values
SSO_GetSegmentRootPath returns a string that
represents the pathname of
the storage section root where the calling application is located.
Examples
set patchArea {__SSO_ID_ST@SCO:Unix:5.0.0Cl @SSO_ID_END__}
set SSORoot [SSO_GetSegmentRootPath SHARED $patchArea]
