 NAME
   sec_rgy_cursor_reset - Resets the registry database cursor

 SYNOPSIS

 #include <dce/misc.h>

 void sec_rgy_cursor_reset(
         sec_rgy_cursor_t *cursor);

 PARAMETERS

 Input/Output

 cursor     A pointer into the registry database.

 DESCRIPTION

 The sec_rgy_cursor_reset() routine resets the database cursor to
 return the first suitable entry.  A cursor is a pointer into the
 registry.  It serves as a place holder when returning successive
 items from the registry.

 A cursor is bound to a particular server.  In other words, a cursor
 that is in use with one replica of the registry has no meaning for
 any other replica.  If a calling program attempts to use a cursor
 from one replica with another, the cursor is reset and the routine
 for which the cursor was specified returns the first item in the
 database.

 A cursor that is in use with one call cannot be used with another.
 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.

 EXAMPLES

 The following example illustrates use of the cursor within a loop.
 The initial sec_rgy_cursor_reset() call resets the cursor to point
 to the first item in the registry.  Successive calls to
 sec_rgy_pgo_get_next() return the next PGO item and update the cursor
 to reflect the last item returned.  When the end of the list of PGO
 items is reached, the routine returns the value sec_rgy_no_more_entries
 in the status parameter.

      sec_rgy_cursor_reset(&cursor);
      do {
          sec_rgy_pgo_get_next(context, domain, scope, &cursor,
                           &item, name &status);
          if (status == error_status_ok) {
               /* Print formatted PGO item info */
          }
      } while (status == error_status_ok);
