getnetgrent(3N)                DG/UX 5.4R3.00                getnetgrent(3N)


NAME
       getnetgrent, setnetgrent, endnetgrent, innetgr - get network group
       entry

SYNOPSIS
       innetgr(netgroup, machine, user, domain)
       char *netgroup, *machine, *user, *domain;
       setnetgrent(netgroup)
       char *netgroup
       endnetgrent()
       getnetgrent(machinep, userp, domainp)
       char **machinep, **userp, **domainp;

DESCRIPTION
       innetgr returns 1 or 0, depending on whether netgroup contains the
       machine, user, domain triple as a member.  Any of the three strings
       machine, user, or domain can be NULL, in which case it signifies a
       wild card.

       getnetgrent() returns the next member of a network group.  After the
       call, machinep will contain a pointer to a string containing the name
       of the machine part of the network group member, and similarly for
       userp and domainp.  If any of machinep, userp or domainp is returned
       as a NULL pointer, it signifies a wild card.  getnetgrent() will use
       malloc(3C) to allocate space for the name.  This space is released
       when a endnetgrent() call is made.  getnetgrent() returns 1 if it
       succeeding in obtaining another member of the network group, 0 if it
       has reached the end of the group.

       getnetgrent() establishes the network group from which getnetgrent()
       will obtain members, and also restarts calls to getnetgrent() from
       the beginning of the list.  If the previous setnetgrent() call was to
       a different network group, a endnetgrent() call is implied.
       endnetgrent() frees the space allocated during the getnetgrent()
       calls.
