void sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_eff_unix_num(
sec_rgy_handle_t context,

sec_rgy_name_t scope,
signed32 unix_id,
boolean32 allow_aliases,

sec_rgy_name_t name,
boolean32 *overridden,
error_status_t *status);
PARAMETERS
Input
context
An opaque handle bound to a registry server. Use
sec_rgy_site_open() to acquire a bound handle.
name_domain
This variable identifies the type of the principal, group, or
organization (PGO) item identified by the given name. The
valid values are as follows:
sec_rgy_domain_person
The UNIX number identifies a principal.
sec_rgy_domain_group
The UNIX number identifies a group.
Note that this function does not support the value sec_rgy_domain_org.
scope A character string (type sec_rgy_name_t) containing the scope
of the desired search. The registry database is designed to
accommodate a tree-structured name hierarchy. The scope of a
search is the name of the branch under which the search takes
place. For example, all names in a registry might start with
/alpha, and be divided further into /beta or /gamma. To search
only the part of the database under /beta, the scope of the
search would be /alpha/beta, and any resulting PGO items would
have names beginning with this string. Note that these naming
conventions need not have anything to do with group or
organization PGO item membership lists.
unix_id
The UNIX number of the desired registry PGO item.
allow_aliases
A boolean32 value indicating whether to search for a primary
PGO item, or whether the search can be satisfied with an alias.
If TRUE, the routine returns the next entry found for the PGO
item. If FALSE, the routine returns only the primary entry.
Input/Output
item_cursor
An opaque pointer indicating a specific PGO item entry in the
registry database. The sec_rgy_pgo_get_next() routine returns
the PGO item indicated by item_cursor, and advances the cursor
to point to the next item in the database. When the end of the
list of entries is reached, the routine returns the value
sec_rgy_no_more_entries in the status parameter. Use
sec_rgy_cursor_reset() to reset the cursor.
Output
pgo_item
A pointer to a sec_rgy_pgo_item_t structure to receive the data
for the returned PGO item. The data in this structure includes
the PGO item's name, UUID, UNIX number (if any), and
administrative data, such as whether the item, if a principal,
may have a concurrent group set. The data is as it appears in
the registry, for that UNIX number.
name A pointer to a sec_rgy_name_t character string containing the
returned name for the PGO item.
overridden
A pointer to a boolean32 value indicating whether or not the
supplied UNIX number has an entry in the local override file
(passwd_override or group_override). [NOT APPLICABLE ON OPENVMS]
status
A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion,
the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an
error.
DESCRIPTION
The sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_eff_unix_num() routine returns the name and
data for a PGO item. The desired item is identified by its type
(domain) and its UNIX number.
This routine is similar to the sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_unix_num() routine.
The difference between the routines is that on UNIX,
sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_eff_unix_num() first searches the local override
files for the respective name_domain for a match with the supplied
UNIX number. If an override match is found, and an account or group
name is found in that entry, then that name is used to obtain PGO
data from the registry and the value of the overridden parameter is
set to TRUE.
The item_cursor parameter specifies the starting point for the search
through the registry database. It provides an automatic place holder
in the database. The routine automatically updates this variable to
point to the next PGO item after the returned item. The returned
cursor location can be supplied on a subsequent database access call
that also uses a PGO item cursor.
Permissions Required
The sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_eff_unix_num() routine requires the r (read)
permission on the PGO item to be viewed.
CAUTIONS
There are several different types of cursors used in the registry
Application Programmer Interface (API). Some cursors point to PGO
items, others point to members in a membership list, and others point
to account data. Do not use a cursor for one sort of object in a call
expecting another sort of object. For example, you cannot use the same
cursor on a call to sec_rgy_acct_get_projlist() and
sec_rgy_pgo_get_next(). The behavior in this case is undefined.
Furthermore, cursors are specific to a server. A cursor pointing
into one replica of the registry database is useless as a pointer
into another replica.
Use sec_rgy_cursor_reset() to renew a cursor for use with another
call or for another server.

ERRORS
sec_rgy_no_more_entries
The cursor is at the end of the list of PGO items.
sec_rgy_object_not_found
The specified PGO item was not found.
sec_rgy_server_unavailable
The DCE Registry Server is unavailable.
error_status_ok
The call was successful.
