NAME

rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_next- returns one member name at a time from a group

SYNOPSIS

#include <dce/rpc.h>

void rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_next(
	rpc_ns_handle_t inquiry_context,
	unsigned_char_t **member_name,
	unsigned32 *status);

PARAMETERS

Input

inquiry_context

Specifies an inquiry context. The application obtains the inquiry context by calling the rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_begin() routine.

Output

member_name

Returns a pointer to an RPC group member name.

The syntax of the member_name argument depends on the value of inquiry_context. The application specifies this syntax with the member_name_syntax argument when it calls rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_begin() to obtain the inquiry context.

status

Returns the status code from this routine. The status code indicates whether the routine completed successfully, or if not, why not.

Possible status codes and their meanings include:

rpc_s_ok

Success.

rpc_s_entry_not_found

Name service entry not found.

rpc_s_not_rpc_entry

Not an RPC entry.

rpc_s_class_version_mismatch

Name service entry has incompatible RPC class version.

rpc_s_name_service_unavailable

Name service unavailable.

rpc_s_no_more_members

No more members.

rpc_s_no_ns_permission

No permission for name service operation.

DESCRIPTION

The rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_next() routine returns one member of the RPC group specified by the group_name argument in the rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_begin() routine.

An application can view all the members of an RPC group by repeatedly calling the rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_next() routine. When all the group members have been viewed, this routine returns an rpc_s_no_more_members status. The group members are returned in unspecified order.

On each call to this routine that returns a member name, the RPC run-time system allocates memory for the returned member_name. The application calls the rpc_string_free() routine for each returned member_name string.

After viewing the RPC group's members, the application must call the rpc_ns_group_mbr_inq_done() routine to delete the inquiry context.

Permissions Required

The application needs read permission to the target name service entry.

RETURN VALUE

None.
