getprofattr(3SECDB)					   getprofattr(3SECDB)

NAME
       getprofattr,  getprofnam, free_profattr,	setprofattr, endprofattr, get-
       proflist, free_proflist - get profile description and attributes

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -lsecdb  -lsocket	 -lnsl [ library... ]
       #include	<prof_attr.h>

       profattr_t *getprofattr(void);

       profattr_t *getprofnam(const char *name);

       void free_profattr(profattr_t *pd);

       void setprofattr(void);

       void endprofattr(void);

       void getproflist(const char *profname, char **proflist, int *profcnt);

       void free_proflist(char **proflist, int profcnt);

       The getprofattr() and getprofnam() functions each  return  a  prof_attr
       entry.  Entries	can come from any of the sources specified in the nss-
       witch.conf(4) file.

       The getprofattr() function enumerates prof_attr entries.	 The  getprof-
       nam()  function	searches for a prof_attr entry with a given name. Suc-
       cessive calls to	these functions	return either successive prof_attr en-
       tries or	NULL.

       The internal representation of a	prof_attr entry	is a profattr_t	struc-
       ture defined in	<prof_attr.h> with the following members:

       char  *name;   /* Name of the profile */
       char  *res1;   /* Reserved for future use */
       char  *res2;   /* Reserved for future use */
       char  *desc;   /* Description/Purpose of	the profile */
       kva_t *attr;   /* Profile attributes */

       The free_profattr() function releases memory allocated by  the  getpro-
       fattr() and getprofnam()	functions.

       The  setprofattr()  function "rewinds" to the beginning of the enumera-
       tion of prof_attr entries. Calls	to getprofnam()	can leave the enumera-
       tion  in	 an  indeterminate  state. Therefore,  setprofattr() should be
       called before the first call to getprofattr().

       The endprofattr() function may be called	 to  indicate  that  prof_attr
       processing  is  complete;  the system may then close any	open prof_attr
       file, deallocate	storage, and so	forth.

       The getproflist() function searches for the list	of sub-profiles	 found
       in  the	given  profname	 and  allocates	 memory	 to store this list in
       proflist. The given profname will be included in	the list  of  sub-pro-
       files.	The  profcnt  argument indicates the number of items currently
       valid in	proflist. Memory allocated by getproflist()  should  be	 freed
       using the free_proflist() function.

       The  free_proflist()  function  frees  memory  allocated	 by  the  get-
       proflist() function.  The profcnt  argument  specifies  the  number  of
       items to	free from the proflist argument.

       The getprofattr() function returns a pointer to a profattr_t if it suc-
       cessfully enumerates an entry; otherwise	it  returns  NULL,  indicating
       the end of the enumeration.

       The  getprofnam() function returns a pointer to a profattr_t if it suc-
       cessfully locates the requested entry; otherwise	it returns NULL.

       Individual attributes in	the prof_attr_t	structure can be  referred  to
       by calling the kva_match(3SECDB)	function.

       Because	the  list of legal keys	is likely to expand, any code  must be
       written to ignore unknown key-value pairs without error.

       The getprofattr() and getprofnam() functions both allocate  memory  for
       the  pointers  they  return. This memory	should be deallocated with the
       free_profattr() function.
