SLPGetProperty</h2>
<hr WIDTH="100%">
<h3>
Declaration</h3>
<tt>#include &lt;slp.h></tt>
<p><tt>const char* SLPGetProperty( const char* <a href="#name">name</a>)</tt>
<br>&nbsp;
<h3>
Description</h3>
Returns the value of the corresponding SLP property name.&nbsp; The returned
string is owned by the library and MUST NOT be freed.
<br>&nbsp;
<h3>
Parameters</h3>
<table BORDER CELLPADDING=5 NOSAVE >
<tr VALIGN=TOP NOSAVE>
<td NOSAVE><a NAME="name"></a><tt>name</tt></td>
<td NOSAVE>The name of a net.slp property to get.&nbsp; See <a href="/broken">OpenSLP
Users Guide</a> for a list of supported properties</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h3>
Returns</h3>
A very thread unsafe character pointer to a string containing the property
value.&nbsp; If an error occurs, like the property <tt>name</tt> is not
found, NULL is returned so don't forget to check for NULL!
<br>&nbsp;
<h3>
Status</h3>
<table CELLPADDING=5 NOSAVE >
<tr VALIGN=TOP NOSAVE>
<td NOSAVE>OpenSLP 0.6.0</td>
<td NOSAVE>Fully implemented as specified by RFC 2614.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h3>
Notes</h3>
For some reason the SLP API writers decided to make SLPGetProperty() and
SLPSetProperty() calls impossible to implement in a thread safe manner.&nbsp;
For this reason OpenSLP only allows read only access to SLP properties.&nbsp;
Properties are read into static data structures when the process loads,
and never changed so at least SLPGetProperty() can be called from threaded
applications.
