NAME

       nbp_name - NBP name parsing

SYNOPSIS

       int nbp_name(char *name, char **obj, char **type, char **zone);

DESCRIPTION

       nbp_name() parses user supplied names into their component object, type, and zone.  obj, type, and zone
       should be passed by reference, and should point to the caller's default values.  nbp_name() will change
       the pointers to the parsed-out values.  name is of the form object:type@zone, where each of object,
       :type, and @zone replace obj, type, and zone, respectively.  type must be proceeded by `:', and zone must
       be preceded by `@'.

EXAMPLE

       The argument of afpd(8)'s -n option is parsed with nbp_name(). The default value of obj is the first
       component of the machine's hostname (as returned by gethostbyname(3)). The default value of type is
       ``AFPServer'', and of zone is ``*'', the default zone. To cause afpd to register itself in some zone
       other than the default, one would invoke it as

           afpd -n @some-other-zone

       obj and type would retain their default values.

BUGS

       obj, type, and zone return pointers into static area which may be over-written on each call.
