Well, I can't give you that, although I've heard Transarc will be more
than happy to sell it to you. :-)
A couple of years ago, I wrote a program which needed to know this.
Due to the nature of our application, it was desirable to simply fetch
the list of group members once, and do the search ourselves. Naturally,
we updated our cached list once in a while. The relevant code looks like
this:
int auth_init()
{
char cellname[sizeof(AFS_CELL)];
int err;
strcpy(cellname, AFS_CELL);
err = pr_Initialize(0L, AFSCONF_CLIENTNAME, cellname);
if (err) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error %d while starting AFS protection package", err);
exit(1);
}
}
/* Get the members of a given PTS group */
static int getptsmem(char *name, namelist *members)
{
long err;
int id;
static char xname[257];
err_printf(DBG_FUNC, "getptsmem(%s, NAMELIST)", name);
strcpy(xname, name);
if ((err = pr_SNameToId(xname, &id)) || id == ANONYMOUSID)
{
err_printf(EL_ERROR, "No such pts user/group as %s", name);
err_printf(EL_ERROR, "Error code was %d", err);
return 0;
}
members->namelist_len = 0;
members->namelist_val = 0;
if (err = pr_IDListMembers(id, members))
{
err_printf(EL_ERROR, "Unable to get membership of user/group %s", name);
freenamelist(members);
return 0;
}
return 1;
}
