dce_attr_cursor_t ∗cursor,
error_status_t ∗status);

Parameters

Output

cursorA pointer to a dce_attr_cursor_t. 

statusA 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_alloc() routine allocates resources to a cursor used with the dce_attr_sch_scan() routine.  This routine, which is a local operation,  does not initialize cursor. 

The dce_attr_sch_cursor_init() routine, which makes a remote call, allocates and initializes the cursor.  In addition, dce_attr_sch_cursor_init() returns the total number of entries found in the schema as an output parameter; dce_attr_sch_cursor_alloc() does not. 

Permissions Required

The dce_attr_sch_cursor_alloc() routine requires appropriate permissions on the schema object.  These permissions are managed by the target server.
