rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_next(3rpc)
Returns one member name at a time from a group
Used by client, server, or management applications.
Synopsis
#include <dce/rpc.h>
void rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_next(
rpc_ns_handle_t inquiry_context,
unsigned_char_t **member_name,
unsigned32 *status);
Parameters
Input
inquiry_context
Specifies a name service handle. This handle is returned from the rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_begin( ) routine.
Output
member_name
Returns a pointer to a (global) RPC group member name. The syntax of the returned name is specified by the member_name_syntax parameter in
rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_begin( ).
Specify NULL to prevent the routine from returning this parameter. In this case, the application does not call rpc_string_free( ).
status
Returns the status code from this routine. This status code indicates whether the routine completed successfully or, if not, why not.
Description
The rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_next( ) routine returns one member of the RPC group specified by the group_name parameter in the
rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_begin( ) routine.
An application can view all the members of an RPC group by calling the rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_next( ) routine repeatedly. When all the group members have been viewed, this routine returns an rpc_s_no_more_members status. The returned group members are unordered.
On each call to this routine that returns a member name (as a global name), the RPC runtime allocates memory for the returned member_name. The application calls rpc_string_free( ) for each returned member_name string.
After viewing the RPC group's members, the application must call the rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_done( ) routine to delete the inquiry context.
Permissions Required
You need read permission to the CDS object entry (the target group entry).

No value is returned.
