NAME
       cmpt_getbynum(), cmpt_endent(), cmpt_getbyname(), cmpt_getent(), cmpt_setent() - map compartment name to number or number to name

SYNOPSIS

   Parameters
	      cmpt_name      Pointer to a string containing a compartment name.

	      cmpt_num	     Compartment number.

	      state	     Pointer to internal state.

   Structure Members
       The structure is defined in It contains at least the following fields:

DESCRIPTION
       Compartments  are referenced by strings in configuration files under but are maintained as numbers internally.  The functions and query and
       iterate over this database.

	      Returns the compartment number corresponding to the string specified by
				       cmpt_name.

	      Returns the compartment name corresponding to
				       cmpt_num.  If the return value is not NULL, it is the responsibility of the caller  to  free  the  returned
				       value using See free(3C).

	      Opens the database connection to allow an iterative search.

	      Returns a pointer to the next compartment name/number pair from the database.
				       The user must not call to release the memory pointed to by the return value.

	      Closes the database connection.

   Notes
       Every call to must be matched with a corresponding call to

RETURN VALUE
       returns the following values:

	      Successful completion.
		     The function returns a valid compartment number.
	      Function failed.
		     is set to indicate the error.

       returns the following values:

	      pointer
		     Successful completions.  Returns a non-null pointer to a string containing the compartment name.
	      NULL pointer
		     Function failed.  Returns a null pointer and sets to indicate the error .

       The caller is responsible for freeing the result.

       returns the following values:

	      Successful completion.
	      Function failed.
		     is set to indicate the error.

       returns the following values:

	      pointer
		     Succesaful completions.  Returns a non-null pointer to a structure.
	      NULL pointer
		     Function failed or entries are exhausted.	In case of an error, is set to indicate the error.

       sets to and returns a null pointer when all entries have been exhausted.

ERRORS
       If any of the following conditions occur, the functions fail and set

	      Compartment name or number does not exist.

	      Compartmentalization is not enabled on this system.

	      The function failed to allocate sufficient memory for its operation.

EXAMPLES
   Example 1
       Get the compartment number associated with a name.

	      #include <sys/cmpt.h>

	      void main(int argc, char **argv) {
		  cmpt_t cmptid;

		  cmptid = cmpt_getbyname("INIT");
		  if (cmptid != -1) {
		      printf("
Compartment id : %d
", cmptid);
		  } else {
		      printf("
Error getting compartment number
");
		  }
	      }

   Example 2
       Get the compartment name associated with a number.

	      #include <sys/cmpt.h>

	      void main(int argc, char **argv) {
		  char *name;

		  name = cmpt_getbynum((cmpt_t)2);
		  if (name) {
		      printf("
Compartment name : %s
", name);
		      free(name);
		  } else {
		      printf("
Error getting compartment name
");
		  }
	      }

   Example 3
       Iterate through compartment mapping entries.

	      #include <errno.h>
	      #include <sys/cmpt.h>

	      void main(int argc, char **argv) {
		  struct cmpt_pair *pair;
		  struct cmpt_state *state

		  if (cmpt_setent(&state) != 0) {
		     perror("cmpt_setent failed");
		     exit(1);
		  }

		  /* get entries until a NULL returned */
		  while ( pair = cmpt_getent(&state) )
		  {
		      printf("
Compartment Nnumber : %d  Name : %s
",
			      pair->cmpt_num, pair->cmpt_name);
		  }

		  if (errno == 0)
		  {
		      printf("
All Entries printed
");
		  } else {
		      printf("
Error getting compartment entry
");
		  }

		  cmpt_endent();
	      }
