| ## sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_unix_num(3sec) Returns the name and data for a PGO item identified by its UNIX ID Synopsis #include <dce/pgo.h> void sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_unix_num( sec_rgy_handle_t context, sec_rgy_domain_t name_domain, sec_rgy_name_t scope, signed32 unix_id, boolean32 allow_aliases, sec_rgy_cursor_t *item_cursor, sec_rgy_pgo_item_t *pgo_item, sec_rgy_name_t name, error_status_t *status); Parameters Input context An opaque handle bound to a registry server. Use sec_rgy_site_open( ) to acquire a bound handle. name_domain This variable identifies the type of the principal, group, or organization (PGO) item identified by the given name. The valid values are as follows: sec_rgy_domain_person The UNIX number identifies a principal. sec_rgy_domain_group The UNIX number identifies a group. sec_rgy_domain_org The UNIX number identifies an organization. scope A character string (type sec_rgy_name_t) containing the scope of the desired search. The registry database is designed to accommodate a tree-structured name hierarchy. The scope of a search is the name of the branch under which the search takes place. For example, all names in a registry might start with /alpha, and be divided further into /beta or /gamma. To search only the part of the database under /beta, the scope of the search would be /alpha/beta, and any resulting PGO items would have names beginning with this string. Note that these naming conventions need not have anything to do with group or organization PGO item membership lists. unix_id The UNIX number of the desired registry PGO item. allow_aliases A boolean32 value indicating whether to search for a primary PGO item, or whether the search can be satisfied with an alias. If TRUE, the routine returns the next entry found for the PGO item. If FALSE, the routine returns only the primary entry. Input/Output item_cursor An opaque pointer indicating a specific PGO item entry in the registry database. The sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_unix_num( ) routine returns the PGO item indicated by item_cursor, and advances the cursor to point to the next item in the database. When the end of the list of entries is reached, the routine returns the value sec_rgy_no_more_entries in the status parameter. Use sec_rgy_cursor_reset( ) to reset the cursor. Output pgo_item A pointer to a sec_rgy_pgo_item_t structure to receive the data for the returned PGO item. The data in this structure includes the PGO item's name, UUID, UNIX number (if any), and administrative data, such as whether the item, if a principal, may have a concurrent group set. name A pointer to a sec_rgy_name_t character string containing the returned name for the PGO item. status A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error. Description The sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_unix_num( ) routine returns the name and data for a PGO item. The desired item is identified by its type (domain) and its UNIX number. The item_cursor parameter specifies the starting point for the search through the registry database. It provides an automatic place holder in the database. The routine automatically updates this variable to point to the next PGO item after the returned item. The returned cursor location can be supplied on a subsequent database access call that also uses a PGO item cursor. Permissions Required The sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_unix_num( ) routine requires the r (read) permission on the PGO item to be viewed. Cautions There are several different types of cursors used in the registry Application Programmer Interface (API). Some cursors point to PGO items, others point to members in a membership list, and others point to account data. Do not use a cursor for one sort of object in a call expecting another sort of object. For example, you cannot use the same cursor on a call to sec_rgy_acct_get_projlist( ) and sec_rgy_pgo_get_next( ). The behavior in this case is undefined. Furthermore, cursors are specific to a server. A cursor pointing into one replica of the registry database is useless as a pointer into another replica. Use sec_rgy_cursor_reset( ) to renew a cursor for use with another call or for another server. Files /usr/include/dce/pgo.idl The idl file from which dce/pgo.h was derived. Errors The following describes a partial list of errors that might be returned. Refer to the OSF DCE Problem Determination Guide for complete descriptions of all error messages. sec_rgy_no_more_entries The cursor is at the end of the list of PGO items. sec_rgy_object_not_found The specified PGO item was not found. sec_rgy_server_unavailable The DCE Registry Server is unavailable. error_status_ok The call was successful.
