sia_make_entity_pwd(3)
NAME
  sia_make_entity_pwd - Make entity password - SIA (Security Integration
  Architecture)

SYNOPSIS
  #include <siad.h>
  #include <signal.h>
  #include <setjmp.h>

  int sia_make_entity_pwd(
	  struct passwd *pwd,
	  SIAENTITY *entity );

LIBRARY
  Standard C library (libc.so and libc.a)

PARAMETERS
  entity
      The entity parameter points to the SIAENTITY structure that will have
      its pwd data updated. The values in the SIAENTITY structure are changed
      by this routine.

  pwd The pwd parameter points to the passwd structure that will have its
      data duplicated by the pwd field of the entity structure.

DESCRIPTION
  The sia_make_entity_pwd() routine fills in the pwd field of the entity
  structure, using malloc() to ensure that the copied data is not overwritten
  by subsequent calls to getpwent().

RETURN VALUES
  The sia_make_entity_pwd() routine returns SIASUCCESS or SIAFAIL.

ERRORS
  The errno value is not (normally) set explicitly by sia_* routines. The
  errno values are those returned from the dynamic loader interface, from
  dependent (siad_*) routines, or from malloc. Possible errors include
  resource constraints (no memory) and various authentication failures.

FILES
  /etc/passwd
