USAGE

  Four functions from the genders library are implemented.  They are genders_getnumattrs(),
  genders_getattr(), genders_getattr_all(), and genders_getnodes(), and all work similarly
  as their libgenders(3) counterparts:

  genders_getnumattrs() takes a genders file name (string) as an input, and returns the
  number of attributes listed in the genders file.

  genders_getattr() takes a genders file name (string), node name (string), and return type
  (boolean) as inputs, and returns an array of attributes or values.  If the return type is
  0, attributes are returned.  Otherwise, values are returned.

  genders_getnodes() takes a genders file name (string), attribute name (string), and value
  name (string) as inputs, and returns an array of nodes.  If the input value string is NULL,
  then values are not considered when determining the node list.

  genders_getattr_all() takes a genders file name (string) as an input, and returns an array
  of attributes.

  In any of the above functions, if the file name string is set to NULL, libgenders will
  look in default locations for the genders file.

EXAMPLES

<?php
  $num = genders_getnumattrs("/etc/genders");
  printf("Num: %d<P>\n", $num);
  $attrs = genders_getattr(NULL, "node1", 0);
  $vals = genders_getattr(NULL, "node1", 1);
  $k = sizeof($attrs);
  for($i=0;$i<$k;$i++)
  {
    printf("%s -> %s<br>", $attrs[$i], $vals[$i]);
  }
  printf("<P>\n");
  $nodes = genders_getnodes(NULL,"compute",NULL);
  $k = sizeof($nodes);
  for($i=0;$i<$k;$i++)
  {
    printf("%s<br>", $nodes[$i]);
  }

  printf("<P>\n");
  $attrs=genders_getattr_all("/etc/genders");
  $k = sizeof($attrs);
  for($i=0;$i<$k;$i++)
  {
    printf("%s<br>", $attrs[$i]);
  }
?>
