`SrrNameLocate`

SrrNameLocate — locates a process by name.

Syntax

#include <srripc.h>
pid_t SrrNameLocate( nid_t   n, 
  const char*   name, 
  unsigned*   sz, 
  unsigned*   copies);

n: The node to search. If set to 0 the local node is searched.
name: The name of the process to locate.
sz: An initial value for the size of the virtual circuit buffer, if the name is on a different node. This size will generally be the size of the largest message. A value of 0 is possible, since virtual circuits expand as needed.
copies: If any value other than NULL is passed, this gets set to 1 if the name has been located, and 0 if not.

On success, the ID of the process that attached the name. On failure, -1 and errno is set.

ESRCH The named process does not exist.
