12 use Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Catalog qw(:ALL);

17 .SH DESCRIPTION
18 .sp
19 .LP
20 This class provides a wrapper around the 32-bit integer used as a catalog tag.
21 The catalog tag is represented as a Perl object blessed into the
22 \fBSun::Solaris::Exacct::Catalog\fR class so that methods can be used to
23 manipulate fields in a catalog tag.
24 .SS "Constants"
25 .sp
26 .LP
27 All the \fBEXT_\fR*, \fBEXC_\fR*, and \fBEXD_\fR* macros are provided as
28 constants. Constants passed to the methods below can either be the integer
29 value such as \fBEXT_UINT8\fR or the string representation such as
30 "\fBEXT_UINT8\fR".
31 .SS "Functions"

42 .RS 4n
43 This method is used to register application-defined \fBlibexacct\fR(3LIB)
44 catalogs with the exacct Perl library. See
45 <\fB/usr/include/sys/exacct_catalog.h\fR> for details of the catalog tag
46 format. This method allows symbolic names and strings to be used for
47 manipulating application-defined catalogs. The first two parameters define the
48 catalog prefix and associated numeric catalog ID. If the \fB$export\fR
49 parameter is true, the constants are exported into the caller's package. The
50 final parameter is a list of (\fBid\fR, \fBname\fR) pairs that identify the
51 required constants. The constants created by this method are formed by
52 appending \fB$cat_pfx\fR and "_" to each name in the list, replacing any spaces
53 with underscore characters and converting the resulting string to uppercase
54 characters. The \fB$catalog_name\fR value is also created as a constant by
55 prefixing it with\fB EXC_\fR and converting it to uppercase characters. Its
56 value becomes that of \fB$catalog_id\fR shifted left by 24 bits. For example,
57 the following call:
58 .sp
59 .in +2
60 .nf
61 Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Catalog->ea_register("MYCAT", 0x01, 1,
62 FIRST => 0x00000001, SECOND => 0x00000010);
63 .fi
64 .in -2
65
66 results in the definition of the following constants:
67 .sp
68 .in +2
69 .nf
70 EXC_MYCAT 0x01 << 24
71 MYCAT_FIRST 0x00000001
72 MYCAT_SECOND 0x00000010
73 .fi
74 .in -2
75
76 Only the catalog ID value of 0x01 is available for application use
77 (\fBEXC_LOCAL\fR). All other values are reserved. While it is possible to use
78 values other than 0x01, they might conflict with future extensions to the
79 \fBlibexacct\fR file format.
80 .sp
81 If any errors are detected during this method, a string is returned containing
82 the appropriate error message. If the call is sucessful, \fBundef\fR is
83 returned.

101 This method creates and returns a new Catalog object, which is a wrapper around
102 a 32-bit integer catalog tag. Three possible argument lists can be given. The
103 first variant is to pass an integer formed by bitwise-inclusive OR of the
104 appropriate \fBEX[TCD]_\fR* constants. The second variant is to pass an
105 existing Catalog object that will be copied. The final variant is to pass in
106 the type, catalog and ID fields as separate values. Each of these values can be
107 either an appropriate integer constant or the string representation of the
108 constant.

118 This method allows the value of the catalog tag to be queried. In a scalar
119 context it returns the 32-bit integer representing the tag. In a list context
120 it returns a (\fBtype\fR, \fBcatalog\fR, \fBid\fR) triplet, where each member
121 of the triplet is a dual-typed scalar.

166 These methods return string representations of the appropriate value. These
167 methods can be used for textual output of the various catalog fields. The
168 string representations of the constants are formed by removing the \fBEXT_\fR,
169 \fBEXC_\fR, or \fBEXD_\fR prefix, replacing any underscore characters with
170 spaces, and converting the remaining string to lowercase characters.
