NAME
       siad_getpwent, siad_getpwuid, siad_getpwnam, siad_setpwent, siad_endpwent - password routines for SIA (Security Integration Architecture)

LIBRARY
       Standard C library (libc.so and libc.a)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sia.h>
       #include <siad.h>

       int siad_getpwent(
	    struct passwd *result,
	    char *buffer,
	    int buflen,
	    FILE **context);

       int siad_getpwuid(
	    uid_t   uid,
	    struct passwd *result,
	    char *buffer,
	    int buflen);

       int siad_getpwnam(
	    char   *name,
	    struct passwd *result,
	    char *buffer,
	    int buflen);

       int siad_setpwent(
	    FILE **context);

       int siad_endpwent(
	    FILE **context);

PARAMETERS
       result	 The result parameter points to the location of the result.

       buffer	 The buffer parameter is a pointer to a buffer which holds the resultant struct passwd.  This parameter is read only.

       buflen	 The buflen parameter is the length of the buffer in  chars.  This parameter are read only.

       uid	 The uid parameter is the user identifier (UID) for the request.  This parameter are read only.

       name	 The name parameter is the user name for the request.  This parameter are read only.

       context	 A pointer to the location that records which I/O stream is to be used.

DESCRIPTION
       This series of mechanism dependent routines is used access the corresponding getpw* series of calls.  The actual result string is placed in
       the buffer provided and result points to the resultant struct passwd in the buffer.  Values in the passwd structure may be changed  by  the
       siad_*pw* routines.

   siad_getpwent()
       The  siad_getpwent  routine is called indirectly (by the sia_switch function) from the sia_getpass() routine to do libc and libc_r getpwent
       and getpwent_r processing.  The result buffer is always allocated and a lock is taken out when thread safety is required.

   siad_getpwuid()
       This routine is called indirectly (by the sia_switch function) by sia_getpass() to process libc	and  libc_r  getpwuid()  and  getpwuid_r()
       requests.

   siad_getpwnam()
       This  routine  is  called indirectly (by the sia_switch function) by sia_getpass to process the libc and libc_r getpwnam() and getpwnam_r()
       requests.

   siad_setpwent()
       This routine is called to initialize a series of getpwent calls.  Such initialization might be the opening of a file or the contacting of a
       service.

   siad_endpwent()
       This routine is called to free up or release resources associated with the completion of a series of getpwent calls.

RETURN VALUES
       The siad_*pw*() routines return bitmapped values which indicate the following status:

       SIADSUCCESS     Indicates unconditional success. All bits set to 0.

       SIADFAIL        Indicates conditional failure. Lowest bit set to 1.  If other security mechanism are in place, continue.

       SIADSTOP        Indicates unconditional failure. Do not continue.  Second lowest bit set to 1.

ERRORS
       The errno values are those returned from the dynamic loader interface, from the (siad_*) routines, or from malloc.  Possible errors include
       resource constraints (no memory) and various authentication failures.

FILES
       /etc/passwd

       /etc/sia/matrix.conf
