return value:
CONFIG_GETINFO_BYLDEV2
CONFIG_GETINFO_BYNAME2
The CONFIG_GETINFO_BYLDEV2_ and CONFIG_GETINFO_BYNAME2_ 
procedures are variants of CONFIG_GETINFO_BYLDEV and 
CONFIG_GETINFO_BYNAME
. The CONFIG_GETINFO_BYLDEV2_ and 
CONFIG_GETINFO_BYNAME2_ procedures allow the caller to specify device names 
that do not conform to Guardian file-name formats as required by some communication 
devices.

0D Information was successfully returned.
1D Either the device or the process simulating a device detected a file-system error; 
error-detail contains a file-system error number.
2D Parameter error; error-detail contains the number of the first parameter to be 
in error, where 1D designates the first parameter on the left.
3D Bounds error; error-detail contains the number of the first parameter to be in 
error, where 1D designates the first parameter on the left.
4D Either the device or the process simulating a device detected an error; error-
detail contains the error number returned by the device.
Note. These procedures are supported only on G-series releases. To obtain information about 
devices on D-series releases, call one of the following procedures: 
FILE_GETINFOBYNAME_, DEVICE_GETINFOBYNAME_, or DEVICE_GETINFOBYLDEV_.
