# lfc\_getreplicas(3)

get the replica entries associated with a list of GUIDs

## NAME

lfc\_getreplicas - get the replica entries associated with a list of GUIDs

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<sys/types.h\>**\
 **#include "lfc\_api.h"**

**int lfc\_getreplicas (int** *nbguids***,** **const char \*\****guids***,** **const char \****se***,** **int \****nbentries***,** **struct lfc\_filereplicas \*\****rep\_entries***)**

## DESCRIPTION

**lfc\_getreplicas** gets the replica entries associated with a list of GUIDs.

- *nbguids*

  specifies the number of guids in the array *guids*.

- *guids*

  specifies the list of Grid Unique IDentifiers.

- *se*

  allows to restrict the replica entries to a given SE.

- *nbentries*

  will be set to the number of entries in the array of replicas.

- *rep\_entries*

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

```
struct lfc_filereplicas {
	char		guid[CA_MAXGUIDLEN+1];
	int		errcode;
	u_signed64	filesize;
	time_t		ctime;		/* GUID creation time */
	char		csumtype[3];
	char		csumvalue[33];
	time_t		r_ctime;	/* replica creation time */
	time_t		r_atime;	/* last access to replica */
	char		status;
	char		host[CA_MAXHOSTNAMELEN+1];
	char		sfn[CA_MAXSFNLEN+1];
};
```

## 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.

## ERRORS

- **ENOENT**

  The named guid does not exist.

- **ENOMEM**

  Memory could not be allocated for marshalling the request or unmarshalling the reply.

- **EFAULT**

  *guids*, *nbentries* or *rep\_entries* is a NULL pointer.

- **EINVAL**

  *nbguids* is not strictly positive, the length of one of the *guids* exceeds **CA\_MAXGUIDLEN** or the length of *se* exceeds **CA\_MAXHOSTNAMELEN**.

- **SENOSHOST**

  Host unknown.

- **SENOSSERV**

  Service unknown.

- **SEINTERNAL**

  Database error.

- **SECOMERR**

  Communication error.

- **ENSNACT**

  Name server is not running or is being shutdown.
