 NAME
   sec_rgy_attr_cursor_init - Initialize a cursor used by the
                              sec_rgy_attr_lookup_by_id call

 SYNOPSIS

 #include <dce/sec_rgy_attr.h>

 void sec_rgy_attr_cursor_init (
         sec_rgy_handle_t context,
         sec_rgy_domain_t name_domain,
         sec_rgy_name_t name,
         unsigned32 *cur_num_attrs,
         sec_attr_cursor_t *cursor,
         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
        A value of type sec_rgy_domain_t that identifies the registry
        domain in which the object specified by name resides. 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.

 This parameter is ignored if name is policy or replist.

 name   A pointer to a sec_rgy_name_t character string containing the
        name of the person, group, or organization to which the
        attribute to be scanned is attached.

 Output

 cur_num_attrs
        A pointer to an unsigned 32-bit integer that specifies the
        number of attributes currently attached to the object.

 cursor
        A pointer to a sec_rgy_cursor_t positioned at the first
        attribute in the list of the object's attributes.

 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_attr_cursor_init() routine initializes a cursor of type
 sec_attr_cursor_t (used with the sec_rgy_attr_lookup_by_id call) and
 initializes the cursor to the first attribute in the specified object's
 list of attributes.  This call also supplies the total number of
 attributes attached to the object as part of its output. The cursor
 allocation is a local operation.  The cursor initialization is a remote
 operation and makes a remote call to the Registry.

 Use the sec_rgy_attr_cursor_release() call to release all resources
 allocated to a sec_attr_cursor_t cursor.

 Permissions Required

 The sec_rgy_attr_cursor_init() routine requires at least one permission
 (of any type) on the person, group, or organization to which the
 attribute to be scanned is attached.

 ERRORS

 no such object

 error_status_ok
