# lfc\_getreplicass(3)

get the replica entries associated with a list of sfns

## NAME

lfc\_getreplicass - get the replica entries associated with a list of sfns

## SYNOPSIS

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

**int lfc\_getreplicass (int** *nbsfns***,** **const char \*\****sfns***,** **int \****nbentries***,** **struct lfc\_filereplicas \*\****rep\_entries***)**

## DESCRIPTION

**lfc\_getreplicass** gets the replica entries associated with a list of sfns.

- *nbsfns*

  specifies the number of path names in the array *sfns*.

- *sfns*

  specifies the list of Site File Names.

- *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 file does not exist.

- **ENOMEM**

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

- **EFAULT**

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

- **EINVAL**

  *nbsfns* is not strictly positive.

- **ENAMETOOLONG**

  The length of *sfn* exceeds **CA\_MAXSFNLEN**.

- **SENOSHOST**

  Host unknown.

- **SENOSSERV**

  Service unknown.

- **SEINTERNAL**

  Database error.

- **SECOMERR**

  Communication error.

- **ENSNACT**

  Name server is not running or is being shutdown.
