[Pvfs2-developers] server id

[Phil Carns]

The shortest way that I see is this:

1) call PINT_cached_config_get_server_name() to get the name of the 
server that owns the handle in question (ie, "tcp://host:port")

2) call get_server_config_struct() to get a pointer to your local 
server's configuration values

3) do a string comparison of the string from step 1 to the "host_id" 
field in the struct from step 2 and see if they match

To my knowledge, none of the servers keep up with any other 
representation of their own address other than that host_id field, so it 
generally comes down to a string comparison.
