API Functions

2-527

When the API software is operating in asynchronous mode, 
client software must call 

VS_Select

 to receive intermediate 

and final status on a Checkin request submitted through the API 
interface to the VolServ system.

Two levels of default parameter settings are used in the API 
software—global defaults and command-specific defaults. 

•

Global defaults for all commands are initialized at startup 
and can be set or retrieved using 

VS_Global_SetFields

 

and 

VS_Global_GetFields

 function calls.

•

Command-specific parameter defaults for Checkin 
commands are set with 

VSCMD_Checkin_SetDefaults

. 

If command-specific defaults are set for Checkin 
commands, they override the global defaults for all 
commands. 

The following fields can be retrieved from the status handle 
after a successful Checkin command: 

•

VSID_ERROR_CODE

, 

•

VSID_ERROR_CODE_ENTRY, 
VSID_ERROR_CODE_TABLE,

•

VSID_MEDIA_ID

, 

V

•

SID_MEDIA_ID_ENTRY, 

•

VSID_MEDIA_ID_TABLE,

To override a default (global or command-specific) 
parameter value for a specific instance of a Checkin 
command, the parameter identifier and the value to be 
used for the parameter can be submitted on the specific 
command itself.
