#include <dce/dce_cf.h>
void dce_cf_get_cell_name( char **cellname,
error_status_t *status);
PARAMETERS
INPUT
None.
OUTPUT
cellname - The address of a string pointer. This pointer will be
set by the function to point to an allocated buffer
that contains the cellname.
OUTPUT
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 and their meanings are as follows:
dce_cf_st_ok Operation completed succesfully.
dce_cf_e_file_open File open error.
dce_cf_e_no_mem No memory available.

DESCRIPTION
The dce_cf_get_cell_name() routine retrieves the primary name for the
local cell. If the name is found, dce_cf_get_cell_name() returns an
allocated (by a call to malloc()) copy of it in the cellname input
parameter. Use free() to free the allocated copy when you no longer
need it.
The DCE 1.0 version of this routine is limited to processing lines of
text whose length is less than 1024 characters.
RETURN VALUES
No value is returned.
