+ example in which we retrieved a node's text contents. In this case we'll
+ extract the value of the URI we added in the previous
+ section. Full code: <a href="ape.html" title="E. Code for Retrieving Attribute Value Example">Appendix E</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>getReference</tt>:
+ <pre class="programlisting">
+void
+getReference (xmlDocPtr doc, xmlNodePtr cur) {
+
+ cur = cur-&gt;xmlChildrenNode;
+ while (cur != NULL) {
+ if ((!xmlStrcmp(cur-&gt;name, (const xmlChar *)&quot;reference&quot;))) {
+ <a name="getattributevalue"></a><img src="images/callouts/1.png" alt="1" border="0"> printf(&quot;uri: %s\n&quot;, xmlGetProp(cur, &quot;uri&quot;));
+ }
+ cur = cur-&gt;next;

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

+ If you are using a DTD that declares a fixed or
