NAME

dpm_reservespace - reserve space

SYNOPSIS

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

int  dpm_reservespace  (const  char  s_type, const char *u_token, const
char  ret_policy,  const  char  ac_latency,   u_signed64   req_t_space,
u_signed64   req_g_space,   time_t   req_lifetime,  int  nbgids,  gid_t
*req_gids,  const  char  *poolname,  char  *actual_s_type,   u_signed64
*actual_t_space,  u_signed64  *actual_g_space, time_t *actual_lifetime,
char *s_token)

DESCRIPTION

dpm_reservespace reserves space.

The input arguments are:

s_type specifies the type of space requested. It can be V (for: Volatile), D (for Durable), P (for Permanent) or - (for any).
u_token: specifies the user provided description associated with the request. This argument may be NULL.
ret_policy: specifies the retention policy requested. It can be R (for REPLICA), O (for OUTPUT) or C (for CUSTODIAL).
ac_latency: specifies the access latency requested. It can be O (for ONLINE) or N (for NEARLINE).
req_t_space: Total space requested in bytes.
req_g_space: Guaranteed space requested in bytes.
req_lifetime: specifies the requested space lifetime (in seconds) relative to the current time.
nbgids is the size of the array of group ids req_gids.
req_gids: when zero, the space is reserved for the user if the requester has a proxy without VOMS extension or for the group if the requester has a proxy with VOMS extension. If not zero, the space is reserved for this set of group ids. If the caller does not belong to the group, it must have ADMIN privileges.
poolname: If not NULL, reserves the space in that disk pool.
The output arguments are:
actual_s_type: Type of reserved space.
actual_t_space: Total space reserved in bytes (best effort).
actual_g_space: Guaranteed space reserved in bytes.
actual_lifetime: Lifetime of the reserved space (in seconds) relative to the current time.
s_token: Address of a buffer to receive the system allocated token.

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

EACCES The caller does not belong to the group identified by: req_gid and does not have ADMIN privileges.
EFAULT nbgids is greater than 0 and req_gids is a NULL pointer.
EINVAL The space type is invalid or the length of the user space: token description is greater than 255, the space requested is not a positive value, the pool name is longer than CA_MAXPOOLNAMELEN or unknown.
SENOSHOST Host unknown.
SEINTERNAL Database error.
SECOMERR Communication error.
