isIgnoreValue()

Determines whether a specified attribute value is the special Ignore value.

Syntax

unsigned char isIgnoreValue(char * value);
 

Parameters

value [in]
is the attribute value to compare with the special Ignore value. This argument is defined as a char * because the method expects the special Ignore value.

Return values

Returns 1 for True if the passed-in value equals the special Ignore value or 0 for False if it does not.

Notes

The Ignore value, which isIgnoreValue() checks for, is a special attribute value that represents a value that the connector should ignore. After retrieving the value of an attribute with getAttrValue(), you can pass the returned value to isIgnoreValue() to determine whether the value is the special Ignore value.
