mi_integer mi_get_connection_info(conn, conn_info)
   MI_CONNECTION *conn;
   MI_CONNECTION_INFO *conn_info;

conn

is a pointer to a connection descriptor established by a previous call to mi_open( ), mi_server_connect( ), or mi_server_reconnect( ).

conn_info

is a pointer to a user-provided connection-information descriptor, to store the current connection parameters.

Valid in Client LIBMI Application?	Valid in User-Defined Routine?
Yes	Yes

The mi_get_connection_info( ) function puts the current connection parameters for the connection that conn references into the descriptor (MI_CONNECTION_INFO structure) that conn_info references. The connection parameters in this structure include the name of the database server, the number of the server port, and a GLS locale:

typedef struct mi_connection_info
    {
    char   *server_name; /* INFORMIXSERVER */
    mi_integer server_port;  /* SERVERNUM */
    char   *locale;      /* Processing locale */
    mi_integer reserved1;    /* unused */
    mi_integer reserved2;    /* unused */
    } MI_CONNECTION_INFO;

You can pass the connection-information descriptor to mi_server_connect( ) to specify the connection parameters for a connection from the client LIBMI application to the database server.

The mi_get_connection_info( ) function initializes the DataBlade API when it is the first DataBlade API function in a client LIBMI application or a C user-defined routine.

MI_OK

indicates that the function was successful.

MI_ERROR

indicates that the function was not successful.
