NAME 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
rmr_bytes2meid 
 
SYNOPSIS 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
 
:: 
  
 #include <rmr/rmr.h>
 int rmr_bytes2meid( rmr_mbuf_t* mbuf, unsigned char* src, int len )
 
 
 
DESCRIPTION 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
The rmr_bytes2meid function will copy up to *len* bytes from 
*src* to the managed entity ID (meid) field in the message. 
The field is a fixed length, gated by the constant 
RMR_MAX_MEID and if len is larger than this value, only 
RMR_MAX_MEID bytes will actually be copied. 
 
RETURN VALUE 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
On success, the actual number of bytes copied is returned, or 
-1 to indicate a hard error. If the length is less than 0, or 
not the same as length passed in, errno is set to one of the 
errors described in the *Errors* section. 
 
ERRORS 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
If the returned length does not match the length passed in, 
errno will be set to one of the following constants with the 
meaning listed below. 
 
 
 
EINVAL 
   
  The message, or an internal portion of the message, was 
  corrupted or the pointer was invalid. 
   
 
EOVERFLOW 
   
  The length passed in was larger than the maximum length of 
  the field; only a portion of the source bytes were copied.
