.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetprofattr()\fR and \fBgetprofnam()\fR functions each return a
\fBprof_attr\fR entry. Entries can come from any of the sources specified in
the \fBnsswitch.conf\fR(4) file.
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetprofattr()\fR function enumerates \fBprof_attr\fR entries. The
\fBgetprofnam()\fR function searches for a \fBprof_attr\fR entry with a given
\fIname\fR. Successive calls to these functions return either successive
\fBprof_attr\fR entries or \fINULL\fR.
.sp
.LP
The internal representation of a \fBprof_attr\fR entry is a \fBprofattr_t\fR
structure defined in  <\fBprof_attr.h\fR> with the following members:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
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 */
.fi
.in -2

.sp
.LP
The \fBfree_profattr()\fR function releases memory allocated by the
\fBgetprofattr()\fR and \fBgetprofnam()\fR functions.
.sp
.LP
The \fBsetprofattr()\fR function "rewinds" to the beginning of the enumeration
of \fBprof_attr\fR entries. Calls to \fBgetprofnam()\fR can leave the
enumeration in an indeterminate state. Therefore,  \fBsetprofattr()\fR should
be called before the first call to \fBgetprofattr()\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBendprofattr()\fR function may be called to indicate that \fBprof_attr\fR
processing is complete; the system may then close any open \fBprof_attr\fR
file, deallocate storage, and so forth.
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetproflist()\fR function searches for the list of sub-profiles found in
the given \fIprofname\fR and allocates memory to store this list in
\fIproflist\fR. The given \fIprofname\fR will be included in the list of
sub-profiles. The \fIprofcnt\fR argument indicates the number of items
currently valid in \fIproflist\fR. Memory allocated by \fBgetproflist()\fR
should be freed using the \fBfree_proflist()\fR function.
.sp
.LP
The \fBfree_proflist()\fR function frees memory allocated by the
\fBgetproflist()\fR function.  The \fIprofcnt\fR argument specifies the number
of items to free from the \fIproflist\fR argument.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetprofattr()\fR function returns a pointer to a \fBprofattr_t\fR if it
successfully enumerates an entry; otherwise it returns \fINULL\fR, indicating
the end of the enumeration.
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetprofnam()\fR function returns a pointer to a \fBprofattr_t\fR if it
successfully locates the requested entry; otherwise it returns \fINULL\fR.
.SH USAGE
.sp
.LP
Individual attributes in the \fBprof_attr_t\fR structure can be referred to by
calling the \fBkva_match\fR(3SECDB) function.
.sp
.LP
Because the list of legal keys is likely to expand, any code  must be written
to ignore unknown key-value pairs without error.
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetprofattr()\fR and \fBgetprofnam()\fR functions both allocate memory
for the pointers they return. This memory should be deallocated with the
\fBfree_profattr()\fR function.
