Retrieves details of the first project from the specified project database.
The libaacct.a library.
The getfirstprojdb subroutine retrieves the first project definitions from the project database, which is controlled through the handle parameter. The caller must initialize the project database prior to calling this routine with the projdballoc routine. Upon successful completion, the project information is copied to the project structure specified by the caller. In addition, the associated project comment, if present, is copied to the buffer pointed to by the comm parameter. The comment buffer is allocated by the caller and must have a length of 1024 bytes.
There is an internal state (that is, the current project) associated with the project database. When the project database is initialized, the current project is the first project in the database. The getnextprojdb subroutine returns the current project and advances the current project assignment to the next project in the database so that successive calls read each project entry in the database. The getfirstprojdb subroutine can be used to reset the database, so that the initial project is the current project assignment.
