       NAME
             attrmap - map an attribute

       SYNOPSIS
             cc [options] file -liaf
             #include <iaf.h>
             int attrmap(char *attr_name, char *attr_in, char *attr_out);

       DESCRIPTION
             The attrmap routine takes remote (global) attribute values
             that define an attribute on a remote system and maps them into
             local attribute values.  It takes a remote attribute as input
             and returns the corresponding local attribute after consulting
             the local attribute mapping file attr_name.map.

             attr_name is the attribute name, attr_in is the remote
             (global) attribute value, and attr_out is the location where
             attrmap places the local, mapped attribute value.

          Files
             /etc/idmap/attrmap/attr_name.map          map file for
             attribute attr_name

          Return Values
             Upon successful completion, attrmap returns 0; otherwise, it
             returns -1.
