OMparse_obj_val


Synopsis


int  OMparse_obj_val (
OMobj_id  object,
const char *buffer);

int  OMparse_obj_ref (
OMobj_id  object,
const char *buffer);

Description

OMparse_obj_val reads and parses an input string consisting of a valid definition for the value of a V object. The buffer argument contains any characters that can be placed after the "=" operator in a V statement and before the ";" statement terminator. Calling this routine has the same effect as entering this string in the VCP.

OMparse_obj_ref is the same as OMparse_obj_val except that it uses the "=>" operator instead of "=".

Error messages are sent to stderr.

Arguments

object

The id of an object.

buffer

A pointer to a NULL-terminated string consisting of V commands.

Returned value

The status code (see Return Status ). A 0 return value indicates that syntax errors were encountered in the statement definition.
