Entries can come from any of the sources for a project specified in the \fB/etc/nsswitch.conf\fR file (see \fBnsswitch.conf\fR(5)). .sp .LP The \fBsetprojent()\fR, \fBgetprojent()\fR, and \fBendprojent()\fR functions are used to enumerate project entries from the database. .sp .LP The \fBsetprojent()\fR function effectively rewinds the project database to allow repeated searches. It sets (or resets) the enumeration to the beginning of the set of project entries. This function should be called before the first call to \fBgetprojent()\fR. .sp .LP The \fBgetprojent()\fR function returns a pointer to a structure containing the broken-out fields of an entry in the project database. When first called, \fBgetprojent()\fR returns a pointer to a project structure containing the first project structure in the project database. Successive calls can be used to read the entire database. .sp .LP The \fBendprojent()\fR function closes the project database and deallocates resources when processing is complete. It is permissible, though possibly less efficient, for the process to call more project functions after calling \fBendprojent()\fR. .sp .LP The \fBgetprojbyname()\fR function searches the project database for an entry with the project name specified by the character string \fIname\fR. .sp .LP The \fBgetprojbyid()\fR function searches the project database for an entry with the (numeric) project \fBID\fR specified by \fIprojid\fR. .sp .LP The \fBgetdefaultproj()\fR function first looks up the project key word in the \fBuser_attr\fR database used to define user attributes in restricted Solaris environments. If the database is available and the keyword is present, the function looks up the named project, returning \fINULL\fR if it cannot be found or if the user is not a member of the named project. If absent, the function looks for a match in the project database for the special project \fBuser\fR.\fIusername\fR. If no match is found, or if the user is excluded from project \fBuser\fR.\fIusername\fR, the function looks at the default group entry of the \fBpasswd\fR database for the user, and looks for a match in the project database for the special name \fBgroup\fR.\fIgroupname\fR, where \fIgroupname\fR is the default group associated with the password entry corresponding to the given \fIusername\fR. If no match is found, or if the user is excluded from project \fBgroup\fR.\fIgroupname\fR, the function returns \fINULL\fR. A special project entry called 'default' can be looked up and used as a last resort, unless the user is excluded from project 'default'. On successful lookup, this function returns a pointer to the valid \fBproject\fR structure. By convention, the user must have a default project defined on a system to be able to log on to that system. .sp .LP The \fBinproj()\fR function checks if the user specified by \fIusername\fR is able to use the project specified by \fIprojname\fR. This function returns 1 if the user belongs to the list of project's users, if there is a project's group that contains the specified user, if project is a user's default project, or if project's user or group list contains "*" wildcard. In all other cases it returns 0. .sp .LP The \fBgetprojidbyname()\fR function searches the project database for an entry with the project name specified by the character string name. This function returns the project ID if the requested entry is found; otherwise it returns \(mi1. .sp .LP The \fBfgetprojent()\fR function, unlike the other functions described above, does not use \fBnsswitch.conf\fR; it reads and parses the next line from the stream \fIf\fR, which is assumed to have the format of the \fBproject\fR(5) file. This function returns the same values as \fBgetprojent()\fR. .sp .LP The \fBgetprojent()\fR, \fBgetprojbyname()\fR, \fBgetprojbyid()\fR, \fBgetdefaultproj()\fR, and \fBinproj()\fR functions are reentrant interfaces for operations with the \fBproject\fR database. These functions use buffers supplied by the caller to store returned results and are safe for use in both single-threaded and multithreaded applications. .sp .LP Reentrant interfaces require the additional arguments \fIproj\fR, \fIbuffer\fR, and \fIbufsize\fR. The \fIproj\fR argument must be a pointer to a \fBstruct project\fR structure allocated by the caller. On successful completion, the function returns the project entry in this structure. Storage referenced by the \fBproject\fR structure is allocated from the memory provided with the \fIbuffer\fR argument, which is \fIbufsize\fR bytes in size. The content of the memory buffer could be lost in cases when these functions return errors. .sp .LP For enumeration in multithreaded applications, the position within the enumeration is a process-wide property shared by all threads. The \fBsetprojent()\fR function can be used in a multithreaded application but resets the enumeration position for all threads. If multiple threads interleave calls to \fBgetprojent()\fR, the threads will enumerate disjoint subsets of the project database. The \fBinproj()\fR, \fBgetprojbyname()\fR, \fBgetprojbyid()\fR, and \fBgetdefaultproj()\fR functions leave the enumeration position in an indeterminate state. .SH RETURN VALUES .LP Project entries are represented by the \fBstruct project\fR structure defined in <\fBproject.h\fR>. .sp .in +2 .nf struct project { char *pj_name; /* name of the project */ projid_t pj_projid; /* numerical project id */ char *pj_comment; /* project comment */ char **pj_users; /* vector of pointers to project user names */ char **pj_groups; /* vector of pointers to project group names */ char *pj_attr; /* project attributes */ }; .fi .in -2 .sp .LP The \fBgetprojbyname()\fR and \fBgetprojbyid()\fR functions each return a pointer to a \fBstruct project\fR if they successfully locate the requested entry; otherwise they return \fINULL\fR. .sp .LP The \fBgetprojent()\fR function returns a pointer to a \fBstruct project\fR if it successfully enumerates an entry; otherwise it returns \fINULL\fR, indicating the end of the enumeration. .sp .LP The \fBgetprojidbyname()\fR function returns the project ID if the requested entry is found; otherwise it returns \(mi1 and sets errno to indicate the error. .sp .LP When the pointer returned by the reentrant functions \fBgetprojbyname()\fR, \fBgetprojbyid()\fR, and \fBgetprojent()\fR is non-null, it is always equal to the \fIproj\fR pointer that was supplied by the caller. .sp .LP Upon failure, \fBNULL\fR is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. .SH ERRORS .LP The \fBgetprojent()\fR, \fBgetprojbyname()\fR, \fBgetprojbyid()\fR, \fBinproj()\fR, \fBgetprojidbyname()\fR, \fBfgetprojent()\fR, and \fBgetdefaultproj()\fR functions will fail if: .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBEINTR\fR\fR .ad .RS 10n A signal was caught during the operation. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBEIO\fR\fR .ad .RS 10n An I/O error has occurred. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBEMFILE\fR\fR .ad .RS 10n There are \fBOPEN_MAX\fR file descriptors currently open in the calling process. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBENFILE\fR\fR .ad .RS 10n The maximum allowable number of files is currently open in the system. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fBERANGE\fR\fR .ad .RS 10n Insufficient storage was supplied by \fIbuffer\fR and \fIbufsize\fR to contain the data to be referenced by the resulting \fBproject\fR structure. .RE .sp .LP These functions can also fail if the name service switch does not specify valid \fBproject\fR(5) name service sources. In the case of an incompletely configured name service switch configuration, \fBgetprojbyid()\fR and other functions can return error values other than those documented above. These conditions usually occur when the \fBnsswitch.conf\fR file indicates that one or more name services is providing entries for the project database when that name service does not actually make a project table available. .SH USAGE .LP When compiling multithreaded applications, see \fBIntro\fR(3), Notes On Multithreaded Applications. .sp .LP Use of the enumeration interface \fBgetprojent()\fR is discouraged. Enumeration is supported for the project file, NIS, and LDAP but in general is not efficient. The semantics of enumeration are discussed further in \fBnsswitch.conf\fR(5). .SH ATTRIBUTES .LP See \fBattributes\fR(7) for descriptions of the following attributes: .sp .sp .TS box; c | c l | l .
