void Show_Streaming_Mode | ( | char * | flag | ) |
Returns the streaming mode that has been set on the currently open segment.
flag | Special constant: either "on" or "off". Passed by reference. Returned to user. |
When the value being passed back is a string, be sure you've declared your string variable to be long enough.
In C, "passed by reference" means that you have to allocate an appropriate variable, either statically or off the stack, and pass a pointer to that variable to the HOOPS routine. To generate a pointer to a variable C, you prefix the variable with a "&". In other languages you normally don't have to do anything different from usual.
The Show_Streaming_Mode routines will complain if they're called and the attribute is not actually set in the segment. Use Show_Existence() to avoid this, if necessary.
