dce_attr_sch_cursor_init(3dce)
Initializes and allocates a cursor used with the dce_attr_sch_scan call
Synopsis
#include <dce/dce_attr_base.h>
void dce_rgy_attr_cursor_init(
dce_attr_sch_handle_t h,
unsigned32 *cur_num_entries,
dce_attr_cursor_t *cursor,
error_status_t *status);
Parameters
Input
h
An opaque handle bound to a schema object. Use dce_attr_sch_bind( ) to acquire the handle.
Output
cur_num_entries
A pointer to an unsigned 32-bit integer that specifies the total number of entries contained in the schema at the time of this call.
cursor
A pointer to a dce_attr_cursor_t that is initialized to the first entry in the schema.
status
A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the call returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error.
Description
The dce_attr_sch_cursor_init( ) call initializes and allocates a cursor used with the dce_attr_sch_scan( ) call. This call makes remote calls to
initialize the cursor. To limit the number of remote calls, use the dce_attr_sch_cursor_alloc( ) call to allocate cursor, but not initialize it. If the cursor input to
dce_attr_sch_scan( ) has not been initialized, dce_attr_sch_scan( ) call will initialize it; if it has been initialized, dce_attr_sch_scan( ) advances it.
Unlike the dce_attr_sch_cursor_alloc( ) call, the dce_attr_sch_cursor_init( ) call supplies the total number of entries found in the schema as an output parameter.
Permissions Required
