NAME
lfc_starttrans - start transaction mode
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include "lfc_api.h"
int lfc_starttrans (char *server, char *comment);
DESCRIPTION
lfc_starttrans starts transaction mode. The connection to the Name
Server is kept open until one of the DB update operation fails or
lfc_aborttrans or lfc_endtrans is explicitly called. If all the DB
update operations between lfc_starttrans and lfc_endtrans are
successful, a COMMIT is done. If any DB update operation fails or if
an explicit lfc_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.
