Using the passwdpolicy() subroutine.
Okay, so in AIX, there are various subroutines that is built in to the OS. The subroutine is I want to use is passwdpolicy(). So I want to construct a C program that will be able to pass credentials into the program and thusly into the subroutine.

I'm not asking for homework, or for someone to do it. All I'm asking is how do I USE the subroutine. Here is the subroutine:

#include <pwdpolicy.h>
int passwdpolicy (const char *name, int type, const char *old_password,
const char *new_password, time64_t last_update);


Now. Let's say I want to test the password for the user testy, with an old password of a1s2d3f4 and a new password of q1w2e3r4.

Here is the link to the subroutine, via IBM: IBM Systems Information Center

test::mockmodule

Test::MockModule(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     Test::MockModule(3pm)

NAME

       Test::MockModule - Override subroutines in a module for unit testing

SYNOPSIS

	  use Module::Name;
	  use Test::MockModule;

	  {
	      my $module = new Test::MockModule('Module::Name');
	      $module->mock('subroutine', sub { ... });
	      Module::Name::subroutine(@args); # mocked
	  }

	  Module::Name::subroutine(@args); # original subroutine

DESCRIPTION

       "Test::MockModule" lets you temporarily redefine subroutines in other packages for the purposes of unit testing.

       A "Test::MockModule" object is set up to mock subroutines for a given module. The object remembers the original subroutine so it can be
       easily restored. This happens automatically when all MockModule objects for the given module go out of scope, or when you "unmock()" the
       subroutine.

METHODS

       new($package[, %options])
	   Returns an object that will mock subroutines in the specified $package.

	   If there is no $VERSION defined in $package, the module will be automatically loaded. You can override this behaviour by setting the
	   "no_auto" option:

	       my $mock = new Test::MockModule('Module::Name', no_auto => 1);

       get_package()
	   Returns the target package name for the mocked subroutines

       is_mocked($subroutine)
	   Returns a boolean value indicating whether or not the subroutine is currently mocked

       mock($subroutine => &coderef)
	   Temporarily replaces one or more subroutines in the mocked module. A subroutine can be mocked with a code reference or a scalar. A
	   scalar will be recast as a subroutine that returns the scalar.

	   The following statements are equivalent:

	       $module->mock(purge => 'purged');
	       $module->mock(purge => sub { return 'purged'});

	       $module->mock(updated => [localtime()]);
	       $module->mock(updated => sub { return [localtime()]});

	   However, "undef" is a special case. If you mock a subroutine with "undef" it will install an empty subroutine

	       $module->mock(purge => undef);
	       $module->mock(purge => sub { });

	   rather than a subroutine that returns "undef":

	       $module->mock(purge => sub { undef });

	   You can call "mock()" for the same subroutine many times, but when you call "unmock()", the original subroutine is restored (not the
	   last mocked instance).

       original($subroutine)
	   Returns the original (unmocked) subroutine

       unmock($subroutine [, ...])
	   Restores the original $subroutine. You can specify a list of subroutines to "unmock()" in one go.

       unmock_all()
	   Restores all the subroutines in the package that were mocked. This is automatically called when all "Test::MockObject" objects for the
	   given package go out of scope.
