  49 .SH DESCRIPTION
  50 .sp
  51 .LP
  52 The \fBgetprofattr()\fR and \fBgetprofnam()\fR functions each return a
  53 \fBprof_attr\fR entry. Entries can come from any of the sources specified in
  54 the \fBnsswitch.conf\fR(4) file.
  55 .sp
  56 .LP
  57 The \fBgetprofattr()\fR function enumerates \fBprof_attr\fR entries. The
  58 \fBgetprofnam()\fR function searches for a \fBprof_attr\fR entry with a given
  59 \fIname\fR. Successive calls to these functions return either successive
  60 \fBprof_attr\fR entries or \fINULL\fR.
  61 .sp
  62 .LP
  63 The internal representation of a \fBprof_attr\fR entry is a \fBprofattr_t\fR
  64 structure defined in  <\fBprof_attr.h\fR> with the following members:
  65 .sp
  66 .in +2
  67 .nf
  68 char     *name;   /* Name of the profile */
  69 char     *res1;   /* Reserved for future use */
  70 char     *res2;   /* Reserved for future use */
  71 char     *desc;   /* Description/Purpose of the profile */
  72 kva_t *attr;   /* Profile attributes */
  73 .fi
  74 .in -2
  75 
  76 .sp
  77 .LP
  78 The \fBfree_profattr()\fR function releases memory allocated by the
  79 \fBgetprofattr()\fR and \fBgetprofnam()\fR functions.
  80 .sp
  81 .LP
  82 The \fBsetprofattr()\fR function "rewinds" to the beginning of the enumeration
  83 of \fBprof_attr\fR entries. Calls to \fBgetprofnam()\fR can leave the
  84 enumeration in an indeterminate state. Therefore,  \fBsetprofattr()\fR should
  85 be called before the first call to \fBgetprofattr()\fR.
  86 .sp
  87 .LP
  88 The \fBendprofattr()\fR function may be called to indicate that \fBprof_attr\fR
  89 processing is complete; the system may then close any open \fBprof_attr\fR
  90 file, deallocate storage, and so forth.
  91 .sp
  92 .LP
  93 The \fBgetproflist()\fR function searches for the list of sub-profiles found in
  94 the given \fIprofname\fR and allocates memory to store this list in
  95 \fIproflist\fR. The given \fIprofname\fR will be included in the list of
  96 sub-profiles. The \fIprofcnt\fR argument indicates the number of items
  97 currently valid in \fIproflist\fR. Memory allocated by \fBgetproflist()\fR
  98 should be freed using the \fBfree_proflist()\fR function.
  99 .sp
 100 .LP
 101 The \fBfree_proflist()\fR function frees memory allocated by the
 102 \fBgetproflist()\fR function.  The \fIprofcnt\fR argument specifies the number
 103 of items to free from the \fIproflist\fR argument.
 104 .SH RETURN VALUES
 105 .sp
 106 .LP
 107 The \fBgetprofattr()\fR function returns a pointer to a \fBprofattr_t\fR if it
 108 successfully enumerates an entry; otherwise it returns \fINULL\fR, indicating
 109 the end of the enumeration.
 110 .sp
 111 .LP
 112 The \fBgetprofnam()\fR function returns a pointer to a \fBprofattr_t\fR if it
 113 successfully locates the requested entry; otherwise it returns \fINULL\fR.
 114 .SH USAGE
 115 .sp
 116 .LP
 117 Individual attributes in the \fBprof_attr_t\fR structure can be referred to by
 118 calling the \fBkva_match\fR(3SECDB) function.
 119 .sp
 120 .LP
 121 Because the list of legal keys is likely to expand, any code  must be written
 122 to ignore unknown key-value pairs without error.
 123 .sp
 124 .LP
 125 The \fBgetprofattr()\fR and \fBgetprofnam()\fR functions both allocate memory
 126 for the pointers they return. This memory should be deallocated with the
 127 \fBfree_profattr()\fR function.
