int nfs4_get_grouplist(const char *name, gid_t *groups, int *ngroups);
DESCRIPTION
NFSv4 uses names of the form user@domain. To write code that helps the
kernel map uid's (as rpc.idmapd does) or that processes NFSv4 ACLs, you
need to be able to convert between NFSv4 names and local uids and gids.
The nfs4_uid_to_name() and nfs4_gid_to_name() functions, given uid or
gid and domain (as a null-terminated string), write the corresponding
nfsv4 name into the buffer provided in name, which must be of length at
least len.
The nfs4_name_to_uid() and nfs4_name_to_gid() functions, given name (as
a null-terminated string), return the corresponding uid or gid in the
second parameter.
The nfs4_init_name_mapping() function must be called before using any
of these functions. It reads defaults from the configuration file at
the provided path, usually "etc/idmapd.conf".
The domain argument to the id-to-name functions is there to provide a
hint to the name mapper in the case where an id might be mapped to
names in multiple domains. In most cases, this argument should just be
the name returned in the domain argument to nfs4_get_default_domain()
which should be called with server set to NULL. The domain should be a
buffer of length len. The constant NFS4_MAX_DOMAIN_LEN may be used to
determine a reasonable value for that length.
The function nfs4_get_grouplist(), given a name, fills the provided
array groups with up to *ngroups group IDs corresponding to which the
user name belongs to, setting *ngroups to the actual number of such
groups. If the user belongs to more than *ngroups groups, then an
error is returned and the actual number of groups is stored in
*ngroups.
Finally, nfs4_gss_princ_to_ids() is used to convert from a gss princi‐
pal name (as returned by gss_display_name()) to a uid and gid.
RETURN VALUE
All functions return 0 or, in the case of error, -ERRNO.
