  NAME
      dce_cf_same_cell_name - Indicates whether or not two cell names
                              refer to the same cell

  SYNOPSIS

      #include <dce/dce_cf.h>

      void dce_cf_same_cell_name( char *cell_name1,
                                  char *cell_name2,
                                  boolean result,
                                  error_status_t *status);

  PARAMETERS

      INPUT

      cell_name1 - A character string that specifies the name of a
                   cell.

      cell_name2 - A character string that specifies the name of a
                   cell to compare with cell_name1.  If this value is
                   NULL, the routine determines whether or not the cell
                   name specified in cell_name1 is the name of the local
                   cell.

      OUTPUT

      result - A boolean value that indicates whether or not the
               specified cell names match, when two cell names are
               given, and indicates whether or not the specified cell
               name is the name of the local cell, when only one cell
               name is given.  A value of TRUE indicates that the cell
               names refer to the same cell.

      status - Returns the status code from this operation. The status
               code is a value that indicates whether the routine
               completed successfully and if not, why not.
               Possible status codes are as follows:

               dce_cf_st_ok           Operation completed successfully.

               dce_cf_e_no_match      No hostname entry in the DCE
                                      configuration file.

  DESCRIPTION

  The dce_cf_same_cell_name () routine, when given the names of two cells
  as input parameters, compares the cell names to determine whether or
  not they refer to the same call. The result parameter is set to TRUE if
  they do, and to FALSE if they do not.

  If only one cell name is specified as an input parameter, the
  dce_cf_same_cell_name() routine determines whether or not the specified
  cell name is the same as the local cell's primary name (which it
  retrieves by calling dce_cf_get_cell_name()).  You can use the routine
  in this way to determine whether a given cell name is the primary name
  of your local cell.

  RETURN VALUES

      No value is returned.
