NAME

sec_rgy_attr_sch_cursor_init — Initializes and allocates a cursor used with sec_rgy_attr_sch_scan

Synopsis

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

contextAn 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.

cursorA pointer to a sec_attr_cursor_t that is initialized to the first entry in the the schema. 

statusA 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 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 iunput 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
