Setting the Name of a Record
The sample code in Listing 3-3 demonstrates how to set the name of a record. The sample code opens an
Open Directory session and gets an Open Directory reference. Then it calls its MyOpenDirNode routine and
passes to it the address of the node reference (nodeRef) that it has allocated. The MyOpenDirNode routine
is described in the section “Opening and Closing a Node” (page 28).
The sample code then calls its SetRecordName routine and passes to it the node reference (nodeRef)
obtained by calling its MyOpenDirNode routine.
TheSetRecordName routinecalls dsDataNodeAllocateStringto allocatea datanode (recName) containing
the string “testuser”. This is the current name of the record. Then the SetRecordName routine calls
dsDataNodeAllocateString to allocate a data node (recType) that specifies the record type
(kDSStdRecordTypeUsers) of the record whose name is to be set.
The SetRecordName routine then calls dsOpenRecord with recName and recType as parameters to specify
the record to open. If SetRecordName successfully opens the record, it receives a record reference (recRef).
Then SetRecordName calls dsDataNodeAllocateString to allocate a data node (newRecName) containing
the string “Robert Smith” (the new name that is it be set). The SetRecordName routine then calls
dsSetRecordName to set the record’s new name and dsCloseRecord to close the record. It then cleans
up by calling dsDataNodeDeAllocate to reclaim the memory associated with recName, recType, and
newRecName.
When the SetRecordName routine returns, the sample code in Listing 3-3 calls dsCloseDirNode to close
the node that it opened in order to set the record’s name.
