Routines to Return UNIX Structures

The registry API provides calls to obtain registry entries in a UNIX compatible structure. These APIs return account and group entries similar to the getpwnam, getgrnam, getpwuid, and getgrid UNIX library routines. These APIs, which can be called by the corresponding UNIX library routines to ensure compatibility with UNIX programs, are

· sec_rgy_unix_getpwnam( )

Returns a UNIX compatible password entry for an account specified by name

· sec_rgy_unix_getgrnam( )

Returns a UNIX compatible group entry for an account associated with a specified group name

· sec_rgy_unix_getpwuid( )

Returns a UNIX compatible password entry for an account specified by UNIX ID

· sec_rgy_unix_getgrgid( )

Returns a UNIX compatible group entry for an account associated with a specified group ID
