FN_attribute_t *fn_attr_get(FN_ctx_t *ctx, const FN_composite_name_t
*name, const FN_identifier_t *attribute_id, FN_status_t *status);
MT-Safe
This operation returns the identifier, syntax and values of
a specified attribute for the object named name relative to ctx. If name
is empty, the attribute associated with ctx is returned.
fn_attr_get
returns a pointer to an FN_attribute_t object if the operation succeeds;
it returns a NULL
pointer (0) if the operation fails.
fn_attr_get()
sets status as described in FN_status_t(3N)
and xfn_status_codes(3N)
.
fn_attr_get_values() and its related operations are used for getting
individual values of an attribute. They should be used if the combined size
of all the values are expected to be too large to be returned in a single
invocation of fn_attr_get().

The implementation
of XFN in this Solaris release is based on the X/Open preliminary specification.
It is likely that there will be minor changes to these interfaces to reflect
changes in the final version of this specification. The next minor release
of Solaris will offer binary compatibility for applications developed using
the current interfaces. As the interfaces evolve toward standardization,
it is possible that future releases of Solaris will require minor source
code changes to applications that have been developed against the preliminary
specification.
