Synopsis

unsigned_char_t ∗member_name,
unsigned32 ∗status);

Parameters

Input

group_name_syntax
An integer value that specifies the syntax of the group_name parameter.  To use the syntax that is specified in the RPC_DEFAULT_ENTRY_SYNTAX environment variable, provide rpc_c_ns_syntax_default. 

group_name
Specifies the RPC group that receives a new member. This can be either the global or cell-relative name.

member_name_syntax
An integer value that specifies the syntax of member_name. 

To use the syntax that is specified in the RPC_DEFAULT_ENTRY_SYNTAX environment variable, provide rpc_c_ns_syntax_default. 

member_name
Name of the new RPC group member. This can be either the global or cell-relative name.

Output

statusReturns the status code from this routine, indicating whether the routine completed successfully or, if not, why not. 

Description

The rpc_ns_group_mbr_add() routine adds, to the name service database, an entry name as a member to the name service interface (NSI) group attribute of an entry.  The group_name parameter specifies the entry. 

If the specified group_name entry does not exist, this routine creates the entry with a group attribute and adds the group member specified by the member_name parameter.  In this case, the application must have permission to create the entry.  Otherwise, a management application with the necessary permissions creates the entry by calling rpc_ns_mgmt_entry_create() before the application is run. 

An application can add the entry in member_name to a group before it creates the entry itself. 

Permissions Required

You need both read permission and write permission to the CDS object entry (the target group entry).  If the entry does not exist, you also need insert permission to the parent directory. 

Return Values

No value is returned.
