sec_rgy_attr_sch_cursor_init(3sec)

Initializes and allocates a cursor used with sec_rgy_attr_sch_scan

Synopsis

#include <dce/sec_rgy_attr_sch.h>

void sec_rgy_attr_cursor_init(
sec_rgy_handle_t context,
sec_attr_component_name_t schema_name,
unsigned32 *cur_num_entries,
sec_attr_cursor_t *cursor,
error_status_t status);

Parameters

Input

context
An opaque handle bound to a registry server. Use sec_rgy_site_open( ) to acquire a bound handle.

schema_name
Reserved for future use.

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 sec_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 sec_rgy_attr_sch_cursor_init( ) call initializes and allocates resources to a cursor used with the sec_rgy_attr_sch_scan call. This call makes remote calls to initialize the cursor. To limit the number of remote calls, use the sec_rgy_attr_sch_cursor_alloc( ) call to allocate cursor, but not initialize it. Be aware, however, that the sec_rgy_attr_sch_cursor_init( ) call supplies the total number of entries found in the schema as an output parameter; the sec_rgy_attr_sch_cursor_alloc( ) call does not.

If the cursor input to sec_rgy_attr_sch_scan has not been initialized, the sec_rgy_attr_sch_scan call will initialize it; if it has been initialized, sec_rgy_attr_sch_scan advances it.

Permissions Required
None.
