66 .SH DESCRIPTION
67 .LP
68 These functions are used to obtain entries describing user projects. Entries
69 can come from any of the sources for a project specified in the
70 \fB/etc/nsswitch.conf\fR file (see \fBnsswitch.conf\fR(4)).
71 .sp
72 .LP
73 The \fBsetprojent()\fR, \fBgetprojent()\fR, and \fBendprojent()\fR functions
74 are used to enumerate project entries from the database.
75 .sp
76 .LP
77 The \fBsetprojent()\fR function effectively rewinds the project database to
78 allow repeated searches. It sets (or resets) the enumeration to the beginning
79 of the set of project entries. This function should be called before the first
80 call to \fBgetprojent()\fR.
81 .sp
82 .LP
83 The \fBgetprojent()\fR function returns a pointer to a structure containing the
84 broken-out fields of an entry in the project database. When first called,
85 \fBgetprojent()\fR returns a pointer to a project structure containing the
86 first project structure in the project database. Successive calls can be used
87 to read the entire database.
88 .sp
89 .LP
90 The \fBendprojent()\fR function closes the project database and deallocates
91 resources when processing is complete. It is permissible, though possibly less
92 efficient, for the process to call more project functions after calling
93 \fBendprojent()\fR.
94 .sp
95 .LP
96 The \fBgetprojbyname()\fR function searches the project database for an entry
97 with the project name specified by the character string \fIname\fR.
98 .sp
99 .LP
100 The \fBgetprojbyid()\fR function searches the project database for an entry
101 with the (numeric) project \fBID\fR specified by \fIprojid\fR.
102 .sp
103 .LP
104 The \fBgetdefaultproj()\fR function first looks up the project key word in the
105 \fBuser_attr\fR database used to define user attributes in restricted Solaris
106 environments. If the database is available and the keyword is present, the
107 function looks up the named project, returning \fINULL\fR if it cannot be found
108 or if the user is not a member of the named project. If absent, the function
109 looks for a match in the project database for the special project
110 \fBuser\fR.\fIusername\fR. If no match is found, or if the user is excluded
111 from project \fBuser\fR.\fIusername\fR, the function looks at the default group
112 entry of the \fBpasswd\fR database for the user, and looks for a match in the
113 project database for the special name \fBgroup\fR.\fIgroupname\fR, where
114 \fIgroupname\fR is the default group associated with the password entry
115 corresponding to the given \fIusername\fR. If no match is found, or if the user
116 is excluded from project \fBgroup\fR.\fIgroupname\fR, the function returns
117 \fINULL\fR. A special project entry called 'default' can be looked up and used
118 as a last resort, unless the user is excluded from project 'default'. On
119 successful lookup, this function returns a pointer to the valid \fBproject\fR
120 structure. By convention, the user must have a default project defined on a
121 system to be able to log on to that system.
122 .sp
123 .LP
124 The \fBinproj()\fR function checks if the user specified by \fIusername\fR is
125 able to use the project specified by \fIprojname\fR. This function returns 1 if
126 the user belongs to the list of project's users, if there is a project's group
127 that contains the specified user, if project is a user's default project, or if
128 project's user or group list contains "*" wildcard. In all other cases it
129 returns 0.
130 .sp
131 .LP
132 The \fBgetprojidbyname()\fR function searches the project database for an entry
133 with the project name specified by the character string name. This function
134 returns the project ID if the requested entry is found; otherwise it returns
135 \(mi1.
136 .sp
137 .LP
138 The \fBfgetprojent()\fR function, unlike the other functions described above,
139 does not use \fBnsswitch.conf\fR; it reads and parses the next line from the
140 stream \fIf\fR, which is assumed to have the format of the \fBproject\fR(4)
141 file. This function returns the same values as \fBgetprojent()\fR.
142 .sp
143 .LP
144 The \fBgetprojent()\fR, \fBgetprojbyname()\fR, \fBgetprojbyid()\fR,
145 \fBgetdefaultproj()\fR, and \fBinproj()\fR functions are reentrant interfaces
146 for operations with the \fBproject\fR database. These functions use buffers
147 supplied by the caller to store returned results and are safe for use in both
148 single-threaded and multithreaded applications.
149 .sp
150 .LP
151 Reentrant interfaces require the additional arguments \fIproj\fR, \fIbuffer\fR,
152 and \fIbufsize\fR. The \fIproj\fR argument must be a pointer to a \fBstruct
153 project\fR structure allocated by the caller. On successful completion, the
154 function returns the project entry in this structure. Storage referenced by the
155 \fBproject\fR structure is allocated from the memory provided with the
156 \fIbuffer\fR argument, which is \fIbufsize\fR bytes in size. The content of
157 the memory buffer could be lost in cases when these functions return errors.
158 .sp
159 .LP
160 For enumeration in multithreaded applications, the position within the
161 enumeration is a process-wide property shared by all threads. The
162 \fBsetprojent()\fR function can be used in a multithreaded application but
163 resets the enumeration position for all threads. If multiple threads interleave
164 calls to \fBgetprojent()\fR, the threads will enumerate disjoint subsets of the
165 project database. The \fBinproj()\fR, \fBgetprojbyname()\fR,
166 \fBgetprojbyid()\fR, and \fBgetdefaultproj()\fR functions leave the enumeration
167 position in an indeterminate state.
168 .SH RETURN VALUES

190 The \fBgetprojbyname()\fR and \fBgetprojbyid()\fR functions each return a
191 pointer to a \fBstruct project\fR if they successfully locate the requested
192 entry; otherwise they return \fINULL\fR.
193 .sp
194 .LP
195 The \fBgetprojent()\fR function returns a pointer to a \fBstruct project\fR if
196 it successfully enumerates an entry; otherwise it returns \fINULL\fR,
197 indicating the end of the enumeration.
198 .sp
199 .LP
200 The \fBgetprojidbyname()\fR function returns the project ID if the requested
201 entry is found; otherwise it returns \(mi1 and sets errno to indicate the
202 error.
203 .sp
204 .LP
205 When the pointer returned by the reentrant functions \fBgetprojbyname()\fR,
206 \fBgetprojbyid()\fR, and \fBgetprojent()\fR is non-null, it is always equal to
207 the \fIproj\fR pointer that was supplied by the caller.
208 .sp
209 .LP
210 Upon failure, \fBNULL\fR is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

265 These functions can also fail if the name service switch does not specify valid
266 \fBproject\fR(4) name service sources. In the case of an incompletely
267 configured name service switch configuration, \fBgetprojbyid()\fR and other
268 functions can return error values other than those documented above. These
269 conditions usually occur when the \fBnsswitch.conf\fR file indicates that one
270 or more name services is providing entries for the project database when that
271 name service does not actually make a project table available.

278 Use of the enumeration interface \fBgetprojent()\fR is discouraged. Enumeration
279 is supported for the project file, NIS, and LDAP but in general is not
280 efficient. The semantics of enumeration are discussed further in
281 \fBnsswitch.conf\fR(4).
