2: Retrieving the value of an attribute is similar to the previous
3: example in which we retrieved a node's text contents. In this case we'll
4: extract the value of the <span class="acronym">URI</span> we added in the previous
5: section. Full code: <a href="apg.html" title="G. Code for Retrieving Attribute Value Example">Appendix G, <i>Code for Retrieving Attribute Value Example</i></a>.</p><p>
6: The initial steps for this example are similar to the previous ones: parse
7: the doc, find the element you are interested in, then enter a function to
8: carry out the specific task required. In this case, we call
9: <tt class="function">getReference</tt>:
10: </p><pre class="programlisting">
11: void
12: getReference (xmlDocPtr doc, xmlNodePtr cur) {
13:
14: xmlChar *uri;
15: cur = cur->xmlChildrenNode;
16: while (cur != NULL) {
17: if ((!xmlStrcmp(cur->name, (const xmlChar *)"reference"))) {
18: <a name="getattributevalue"></a><img src="images/callouts/1.png" alt="1" border="0"> uri = xmlGetProp(cur, "uri");
19: printf("uri: %s\n", uri);
20: xmlFree(uri);
21: }
22: cur = cur->next;

29: The key function is <tt class="function"><a href="http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-tree.html#XMLGETPROP" target="_top">xmlGetProp</a></tt>, which returns an
30: <tt class="varname">xmlChar</tt> containing the attribute's value. In this case,
31: we just print it out.
