 NAME
   sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_name - Returns the data for a named PGO item

 SYNOPSIS

 #include <dce/pgo.h>

 void sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_name(
         sec_rgy_handle_t context,
         sec_rgy_domain_t name_domain,
         sec_rgy_name_t pgo_name,
         sec_rgy_cursor_t *item_cursor,
         sec_rgy_pgo_item_t *pgo_item,
         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 name identifies a principal.

        sec_rgy_domain_group
                    The name identifies a group.

        sec_rgy_domain_org
                    The name identifies an organization.

 pgo_name
        A character string (type sec_rgy_name_t) containing the name
        of the principal, group, or organization to search for.

 Input/Output

 item_cursor
        An opaque pointer indicating a specific PGO item entry in the
        registry database. The sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_name() 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.

 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_name() routine returns the data for a named PGO
 item from the  registry database. The desired item is identified by
 its type (name_domain) and name.

 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_name() 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.

 FILES

 SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]PGO.IDL
              The idl file from which dce/pgo.h was derived.

 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.
