validateproj(3c)					      validateproj(3c)

NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     validateproj, fvalidateproj - validate a project name for a user

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <proj.h>

     prid_t validateproj(const char *user, const char *proj);

     prid_t fvalidateproj(PROJ token, const char *user,	const char *proj);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The validateproj function checks to see if	user user is authorized	for
     project proj.  If so, the project ID corresponding	to proj	is returned.

     The fvalidateproj function	is a variant of	validateproj that uses a PROJ
     token to make it more efficient for repeated use.	Otherwise its
     operation is identical.  For more details on creating a PROJ token, see
     openproj(3C).

FILES    [Toc]    [Back]

     /etc/project   System project authorization file.

     /etc/projid    System project name	to project ID mappings.

SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]

     closeproj(3C), getprojall(3C), getprojuser(3C), openproj(3C), projid(4),
     projects(5).

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

     validateproj and fvalidateproj both return	the appropriate	project	ID if
     successful, or -1 if not.

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

     Both functions use	fopen(3S) and are thus subject to its limitations.

     Project information should	be (optionally)	obtained via NIS.
