siad_getgrent(3)					     Library Functions Manual						  siad_getgrent(3)

NAME
       siad_getgrent, siad_getgrgid, siad_getgrnam, siad_setgrent, siad_endgrent - group routines for SIA (Security Integration Architecture)

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

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

       int siad_getgrent(
	    struct group *result,
	    char *buffer,
	    int buflen,
	       FILE **context);

       int siad_getgrgid(
	    gid_t   gid,
	    struct group *result,
	    char *buffer,
	    int buflen);

       int siad_getgrnam(
	    char   *name,
	    struct group *result,
	    char *buffer,
	    int buflen);

       int siad_setgrent(
	       FILE **context);

       int siad_endgrent(
	       FILE **context);

PARAMETERS
       result	 The  result parameter is used to provide a result. The actual result string is placed in the buffer provided and result points to
		 the resultant struct group in the buffer.  Values in the passwd structure may be changed by the siad_*gr* routines.

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

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

       gid	 The gid parameter is the group identifier (GID) for the request.  This parameter are read only.

       name	 The name parameter specifies the group 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
   siad_getgrent()
       The siad_getgrent routine is called indirectly (by the sia_switch function) from the sia_getgroup() routine which is called from  the  libc
       and  libc_r  routines getgrent() and getgrent_r() respectively. The buffer for the group information is	preallocated and a thread lock has
       been taken in the thread safe mode.

   siad_getgrgid()
       This routine is called indirectly (by the sia_switch function) from the sia_getgroup() routine which is called from  the  libc  and  libc_r
       routines getgrgid and getgrgid_r respectively. The buffer for the group information is preallocated and a thread lock has been taken in the
       thread safe mode.

   siad_getgrnam()
       This routine is called indirectly (by the sia_switch function) from the sia_getgroup() routine which is called from  the  libc  and  libc_r
       routines  getgrnam  and	getgrnam_r respectively.  The buffer for the group information is preallocated and a thread lock has been taken in
       the thread safe mode.

   siad_setgrent()
       This routine is called by the sia_getgroup() routine to start or initialize a series of getgrent calls.

   siad_endgrent()
       This routine is called to close or complete the processing of a getgrent() series of calls.

RETURN VALUES
       The siad_*gr*() 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/group

       /etc/sia/matrix.conf
