[rrd-developers] rrd_update_r function parameters

[Robert Halstead]

Hello,
I'm making a java application that uses JNI to call rrdtool's librrd_th
functions and I'm having some questions about the parameters of
rrd_update_r().  My question is what is char *tmplt, and how do I go about
finding it in the list of arguments.  Looking at rrd_update(int argc, char
**argv) I see that char *tmplt is derived from getopt_long(), however, I
cannot use this in a multithreaded env.  Looking through rrd_update, I see
that the only option that getopt_long is looking for is template, is tmplt
then just the string of the option argument?  I've looked at getopt man
pages, which are a little bit confusing, and seeing that getopt() has a
global variable optarg which points to the actual argument for the option?
correct?

Since rrd_update_r takes char *tmplt parameter does this mean it's required
in the command line argument list?  Also, when I pass in argc and argv, I
need to subtract the filename and whatever tmplt arguments are from the
array and argc, correct?

I guess one thing that would help is if I knew what exactly argv needs to
look like going into rrd_update_r function.

The only functions I need to port over are rrd_update_r and rrd_create_r,
but I'm having trouble with the expanded arguments that these two functions
take.  Any help would be apprieciated greatly.  Is there any doc's on these
two functions?
