Retrieving the value of an attribute is similar to the previous
    example in which we retrieved a node's text contents. In this case we'll
      extract the value of the <span class="acronym">URI</span> we added in the previous
      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>
      The initial steps for this example are similar to the previous ones: parse
      the doc, find the element you are interested in, then enter a function to
      carry out the specific task required. In this case, we call
      <tt class="function">getReference</tt>:
      </p><pre class="programlisting">
void
getReference (xmlDocPtr doc, xmlNodePtr cur) {

xmlChar *uri;
	cur = cur-&gt;xmlChildrenNode;
	while (cur != NULL) {
	    if ((!xmlStrcmp(cur-&gt;name, (const xmlChar *)"reference"))) {
		   <a name="getattributevalue"></a><img src="images/callouts/1.png" alt="1" border="0"> uri = xmlGetProp(cur, "uri");
		    printf("uri: %s\n", uri);
		    xmlFree(uri);
	    }
	    cur = cur-&gt;next;
	}
	return;
}
      </pre><p>
    
      </p><div class="calloutlist"><table border="0" summary="Callout list"><tr><td width="5%" valign="top" align="left"><a href="#getattributevalue"><img src="images/callouts/1.png" alt="1" border="0"></a> </td><td valign="top" align="left"><p>
	    The key function is <tt class="function"><a href="https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libxml2/devhelp/libxml2-tree.html#XMLGETPROP" target="_top">xmlGetProp</a></tt>, which returns an
      <tt class="varname">xmlChar</tt> containing the attribute's value. In this case,
					   we just print it out.
      </p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><table border="0" summary="Note"><tr><td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top" width="25"><img alt="[Note]" src="images/note.png"></td><th align="left">Note</th></tr><tr><td colspan="2" align="left" valign="top"><p>
	  If you are using a <span class="acronym">DTD</span> that declares a fixed or
	  default value for the attribute, this function will retrieve it.
	</p></td></tr></table></div><p>
	  </p></td></tr></table></div><p>
