attrmap -- map an attribute

Synopsis

cc [options] file -liaf

#include <iaf.h>

int attrmap(char attr_name, char attr_in, char attr_out);

Description

The attrmap routine takes remote (global) attribute values that define an attribute on a remote system, and maps them into local attribute values. It takes a remote attribute as input and returns the corresponding local attribute after consulting the local attribute mapping file, attr_name.map.

attr_name is the attribute name, attr_in is the remote (global) attribute value, and attr_out is the location where attrmap places the local, mapped attribute value.

Files

/etc/idmap/attrmap/attr_name.map: map file for attribute attr_name

Return values

Upon successful completion, attrmap returns 0; otherwise, it returns -1.
