NAME
gbatch_varadd - create a variable

SYNOPSIS
#include <gbatch.h>

int gbatch_varadd(const int fd, apiBtvar *vard)

DESCRIPTION
The function gbatch_varadd is used to create a new variable.

fd is a file descriptor which was previously returned by a successful call to gbatch_open(3).

vard is a pointer to a structure which contains the details of the new variable.

RETURN VALUES
The function returns 0 if successful, otherwise an error code as defined in the include file \fBgbatch.h\fR.

EXAMPLE
 int fd, ret
 int apiBtvar outv;

 fd = gbatch_open("myhost", (char *) 0);
 if (fd < 0)  { /* error handling */
     ...
 }
 memset((void *)&outv, '\0', sizeof(outv));
 strcpy(outv.var_name, "var1");
 strcpy(outv.var_comment, "A comment");
 outv.var_value.const_type = CON_LONG;
 outv.var_value.con_un.con_long = 1;
 outv.var_mode.u_flags = VALLMODES;
 ret = gbatch_varadd(fd, &outv);
 if (ret < 0) { /* error handling */
     ...
 }
 gbatch_close(fd);
