.SH PARAMETERS
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fImax_to_return\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 21n
Maximum number of entries that can be returned to the Consumer in the
\fIdat_provider_list\fR.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fInumber_entries\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 21n
The actual number of entries returned to the Consumer in the
\fIdat_provider_list\fR if successful or the number of Providers available.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIdat_provider_list\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 21n
Points to an array of \fBDAT_PROVIDER_INFO\fR pointers supplied by the
Consumer. Each Provider's information will be copied to the destination
specified.
.RE
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBdat_registry_list_providers()\fR function allows the Consumer to obtain
a list of available Providers from the Static Registry. The information
provided is the Interface Adapter name, the uDAPL/kDAPL API version supported,
and whether the provided version is thread-safe. The Consumer can examine the
attributes to determine which (if any) Interface Adapters it wants to open.
This operation has no effect on the Registry itself.
.sp
.LP
The Registry can open an IA using a Provider whose \fIdapl_version_minor\fR is
larger than the one the Consumer requests if no Provider entry matches exactly.
Therefore, Consumers should expect that an IA can be opened successfully as
long as at least one Provider entry returned by
\fBdat_registry_list_providers()\fR matches the \fIia_name\fR,
\fIdapl_version_major\fR, and \fIis_thread_safe\fR fields exactly, and has a
\fIdapl_version_minor\fR that is equal to or greater than the version
requested.
.sp
.LP
If the operation is successful, the returned value is \fBDAT_SUCCESS\fR and
\fInumber_entries\fR indicates the number of entries filled by the registry in
\fIdat_provider_list\fR.
.sp
.LP
If the operation is not successful, then \fInumber_entries\fR returns the
number of entries in the registry. Consumers can use this return to allocate
\fIdat_provider_list\fR large enough for the registry entries. This number is
just a snapshot at the time of the call and may be changed by the time of the
next call. If the operation is not successful, then the content of
\fIdat_provider_list\fR is not defined.
.sp
.LP
If \fIdat_provider_list\fR is too small, including pointing to \fINULL\fR for
the registry entries, then the operation fails with the return
\fBDAT_INVALID_PARAMETER\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBDAT_SUCCESS\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 25n
The operation was successful.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBDAT_INVALID_PARAMETER\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 25n
Invalid parameter. For example, \fIdat_provider_list\fR is too small or
\fINULL\fR.
.RE
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBDAT_INTERNAL_ERROR\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 25n
Internal error. The DAT static registry is missing.
.RE
.SH USAGE

\fBDAT_NAME_MAX_LENGTH\fR includes the null character for string termination.
