.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn user_from_uid
|
|
function returns the user name associated with the argument
|
|
.Fa uid .
|
|
The user name is cached so that multiple calls with the same
|
|
.Fa uid
|
|
do not require additional calls to
|
|
.Xr getpwuid 3 .
|
|
If there is no user associated with the
|
|
.Fa uid ,
|
|
a pointer is returned
|
|
to a string representation of the
|
|
.Fa uid ,
|
|
unless the argument
|
|
.Fa nouser
|
|
is non-zero, in which case a
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
pointer is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn group_from_gid
|
|
function returns the group name associated with the argument
|
|
.Fa gid .
|
|
The group name is cached so that multiple calls with the same
|
|
.Fa gid
|
|
do not require additional calls to
|
|
.Xr getgrgid 3 .
|
|
If there is no group associated with the
|
|
.Fa gid ,
|
|
a pointer is returned
|
|
to a string representation of the
|
|
.Fa gid ,
|
|
unless the argument
|
|
.Fa nogroup
|
|
is non-zero, in which case a
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
pointer is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn uid_from_user
|
|
function returns the uid associated with the argument
|
|
.Fa name .
|
|
The uid is cached so that multiple calls with the same
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
do not require additional calls to
|
|
.Xr getpwnam 3 .
|
|
If there is no uid associated with the
|
|
.Fa name ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fn uid_from_user
|
|
function returns -1; otherwise it stores the uid at the location pointed to by
|
|
.Fa uid
|
|
and returns 0.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn gid_from_group
|
|
function returns the gid associated with the argument
|
|
.Fa name .
|
|
The gid is cached so that multiple calls with the same
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
do not require additional calls to
|
|
.Xr getgrnam 3 .
|
|
If there is no gid associated with the
|
|
.Fa name ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fn gid_from_group
|
|
function returns -1; otherwise it stores the gid at the location pointed to by
|
|
.Fa gid
|
|
and returns 0.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pwcache_userdb
|
|
function changes the user database access routines which
|
|
.Fn user_from_uid
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn uid_from_user
|
|
call to search for users.
|
|
The caches are flushed and the existing
|
|
.Fn endpwent
|
|
method is called before switching to the new routines.
|
|
.Fa getpwnam
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa getpwuid
|
|
must be provided, and
|
|
.Fa setpassent
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa endpwent
|
|
may be
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
pointers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pwcache_groupdb
|
|
function changes the group database access routines which
|
|
.Fn group_from_gid
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn gid_from_group
|
|
call to search for groups.
|
|
The caches are flushed and the existing
|
|
.Fn endgrent
|
|
method is called before switching to the new routines.
