SGI_GETCLEARANCEBYNAME(3C)SGI_GETCLEARANCEBYNAME(3C)NAMEsgi_getclearancebyname - get the default and allowed mac label range for
a named user
SYNOPSIS
#include <clearance.h>
struct clearance *sgi_getclearancebyname(const char *name);
DESCRIPTION
Return the default and allowed mac label ranges for the user name. The
routine uses the NIS map clearance.byname if NIS is active,
otherwise it uses the local clearance file, /etc/clearance.
RETURN VALUES
The routine returns a pointer to an allocated struct clearance. This
structure and its components (cap->cl_name, cap->cl_default and cap-
>cl_allowed) have been allocated by the routine with malloc(3c) and
should be released with free(3c) when no longer needed.
If errors are encountered, or the specified user name could not be found,
NULL is returned.
ERRORS
ENOSYS MAC is not enabled.
