NAME

SYNOPSIS

#include <dce/dce_attr_base.h>

void dce_rgy_attr_cursor_init(
        dce_attr_sch_handle_t h,
        unsigned32 *cur_num_entries,
        dce_attr_cursor_t *cursor, 
        error_status_t *status);

PARAMETERS

Input

h

An opaque handle bound to a schema object. Use dce_attr_sch_bind() to acquire the handle.

Output

cur_num_entries

A pointer to an unsigned 32-bit integer that specifies the total number of entries contained in the schema at the time of this call.

cursor

A pointer to a dce_attr_cursor_t that is initialized to the first entry in the the schema.

status

A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the call returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error.

DESCRIPTION

The dce_attr_sch_cursor_init() call initializes and allocates a cursor used with the dce_attr_sch_scan call. This call makes remote calls to initialize the cursor. To limit the number of remote calls, use the dce_attr_sch_cursor_alloc() call to allocate cursor, but not initialize it. If the cursor input to dce_attr_sch_scan has not been initialized, dce_attr_sch_scan call will initialize it; if it has been initialized, dce_attr_sch_scan advances it.

Unlike the dce_attr_sch_cursor_alloc() call, the dce_attr_sch_cursor_init() call supplies the total number of entries found in the schema as an output parameter.

Permissions Required

None.

FILES

ERRORS

dce_attr_s_bad_binding

dce_attr_s_no_memory

error_status_ok
