17 * This file defines the format for a NIS object in RPC language.
18 * It is included by the main .x file and the database access protocol
19 * file. It is common because both of them need to deal with the same
20 * type of object. Generating the actual code though is a bit messy because
21 * the nis.x file and the nis_dba.x file will generate xdr routines to
22 * encode/decode objects when only one set is needed. Such is life when
23 * one is using rpcgen.
25 * Note, the protocol doesn't specify any limits on such things as
26 * maximum name length, number of attributes, etc. These are enforced
27 * by the database backend. When you hit them you will no. Also see
28 * the db_getlimits() function for fetching the limit values.

115 * servers that are serving some portion of the name space. Each has a
116 * type associated with it. The resolver library will note whether or not
117 * is has the needed routines to access that type of service.

158 * ENTRY - This is one row of data from an information base.
159 * The type value is used by the client library to convert the entry to
160 * it's internal structure representation. The Table name is a back pointer
161 * to the table where the entry is stored. This allows the client library
162 * to determine where to send a request if the client wishes to change this
163 * entry but got to it through a LINK rather than directly.

183 * GROUP - The group object contains a list of NIS principal names. Groups
184 * are used to authorize principals. Each object has a set of access rights
185 * for members of its group. Principal names in groups are in the form
186 * name.directory and recursive groups are expressed as @groupname.directory

194 * LINK - This is the LINK object. It is quite similar to a symbolic link
195 * in the UNIX filesystem. The attributes in the main object structure are
196 * relative to the LINK data and not what it points to (like the file system)
197 * "modify" privleges here indicate the right to modify what the link points
198 * at and not to modify that actual object pointed to by the link.

207 * TABLE - This is the table object. It implements a simple
208 * data base that applications and use for configuration or
209 * administration purposes. The role of the table is to group together
210 * a set of related entries. Tables are the simple database component
211 * of NIS. Like many databases, tables are logically divided into columns
212 * and rows. The columns are labeled with indexes and each ENTRY makes
213 * up a row. Rows may be addressed within the table by selecting one
214 * or more indexes, and values for those indexes. Each row which has
215 * a value for the given index that matches the desired value is returned.
216 * Within the definition of each column there is a flags variable, this
217 * variable contains flags which determine whether or not the column is
218 * searchable, contains binary data, and access rights for the entry objects

269 * This is the basic NIS object data type. It consists of a generic part
270 * which all objects contain, and a specialized part which varies depending
271 * on the type of the object. All of the specialized sections have been
272 * described above. You might have wondered why they all start with an
273 * integer size, followed by the useful data. The answer is, when the
274 * server doesn't recognize the type returned it treats it as opaque data.
275 * And the definition for opaque data is {int size; char *data;}. In this
276 * way, servers and utility routines that do not understand a given type
277 * may still pass it around. One has to be careful in setting
278 * this variable accurately, it must take into account such things as
279 * XDR padding of structures etc. The best way to set it is to note one's
280 * position in the XDR encoding stream, encode the structure, look at the
281 * new position and calculate the size.
