NAME

       dpns_starttrans - start transaction mode

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include "dpns_api.h"

       int dpns_starttrans (char *server, char *comment);

DESCRIPTION

       dpns_starttrans  starts  transaction  mode.  The connection to the Name
       Server is kept open until one of  the  DB  update  operation  fails  or
       dpns_aborttrans  or  dpns_endtrans is explicitly called.  If all the DB
       update  operations  between  dpns_starttrans  and   dpns_endtrans   are
       successful,  a  COMMIT is done.  If any DB update operation fails or if
       an explicit dpns_aborttrans is done, a ROLLBACK is done.   The  comment
       is logged in the server log.

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

       EINVAL       The length of comment exceeds CA_MAXCOMMENTLEN.

       SENOSHOST    Host unknown.

       SENOSSERV    Service unknown.

       SECOMERR     Communication error.

       ENSNACT      Name server is not running or is being shutdown.
