33 /* FUNCTION
34 This function will return the value of a local or environmental
35 variable in the supplied buffer.
37 It is advised to only use ASCII characters with a variable, but
38 this is not required.
40 If GVF_BINARY_VAR is not specified, this function will stop putting
41 characters into the destination buffer when a '\n' is hit, or the
42 end of the buffer is reached. Otherwise it will complete fill the
43 buffer.
45 INPUTS
46 name - the name of the variable you want.
47 buffer - Space to store the returned variable.
48 size - Length of the buffer in bytes.
49 flags - A combination of the type of variable to get (lower
50 8 bits) and flags that control the value of this
51 function. Current flags are:
53 GVF_GLOBAL_ONLY - only tries to get a global variable.
54 GVF_LOCAL_ONLY - only tries to get a local variable.
55 GVF_BINARY_VAR - do not stop at a '\n' character.
56 GVF_DONT_NULL_TERM - no NULL termination. This only
57 applies to GVF_BINARY_VAR.
59 RESULT
60 Will return the number of characters put in the buffer, or -1
61 if the variable is not defined. The '\n' character if it exists
62 will not be placed in the buffer.
64 If the value would overflow the user buffer, then the number of
65 characters copied into the buffer will be returned and the buffer
66 truncated.The buffer will be NULL terminated unless
67 GVF_DONT_NULL_TERM is set.
69 IoErr() will contain either:
70 ERROR_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND
71 if the variable is not defined.
72 ERROR_BAD_NUMBER
73 if the size of the buffer is 0.
74 the total length of the variable
75 otherwise.
