 NAME
   sec_rgy_unix_getpwuid - Returns a UNIX style passwd entry for
 			  the account matching the specified UID

 SYNOPSIS

 #include <dce/rgynbase.h>

 void sec_rgy_unix_getpwuid(
         sec_rgy_handle_t context,
         signed32 uid,
         sec_rgy_cursor_t *item_cursor,
         sec_rgy_unix_passwd_t *passwd_entry,
         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.

 uid    A 32-bit integer UNIX ID.

 Input/Output

 item_cursor
        An opaque pointer indicating a specific PGO item entry in the
        registry database. The sec_rgy_unix_getpwuid() 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
        sec_rgy_no_more_entries.  Use sec_rgy_cursor_reset() to refresh
        the cursor.

 Output

 passwd_entry
        A UNIX style password structure returned with information
        about the account matching uid.

 status
        On successful completion, the routine returns error_status_ok.
        Otherwise, it returns an error.

 DESCRIPTION

 The sec_rgy_unix_getpwuid() routine looks up the next passwd entry
 in the registry that matches the input UNIX ID and returns the
 corresponding sec_rgy_passwd structure.  The structure is in the
 following form:

      typedef struct {
            sec_rgy_unix_login_name_t   name;
            sec_rgy_unix_passwd_buf_t   passwd;
            signed32                    Vuid;
            signed32                    Vgid;
            signed32                    oid;
            sec_rgy_unix_gecos_t        gecos;
            sec_rgy_pname_t             homedir;
            sec_rgy_pname_t             shell;
      }               sec_rgy_unix_passwd_t;

 The structure includes

  +  The account's login name.

  +  The account's password.

  +  The account's UNIX ID.

  +  The UNIX ID of group and organization associated with the
     account.

  +  The account's GECOS information.

  +  The account's home directory.

  +  The account's login shell
