ОПИСАНИЕ
One of the databases available with the Name Service Switch (NSS)
is the aliases database, that contains mail aliases. (To find
out which databases are supported, try getent --help.) Six
functions are provided to access the aliases database.
The getaliasent() function returns a pointer to a structure
containing the group information from the aliases database. The
first time it is called it returns the first entry; thereafter,
it returns successive entries.
The setaliasent() function rewinds the file pointer to the
beginning of the aliases database.
The endaliasent() function closes the aliases database.
getaliasent_r() is the reentrant version of the previous
function. The requested structure is stored via the first
argument but the programmer needs to fill the other arguments
also. Not providing enough space causes the function to fail.
The function getaliasbyname() takes the name argument and
searches the aliases database. The entry is returned as a
pointer to a struct aliasent.
getaliasbyname_r() is the reentrant version of the previous
function. The requested structure is stored via the second
argument but the programmer needs to fill the other arguments
also. Not providing enough space causes the function to fail.
The struct aliasent is defined in <aliases.h>:
struct aliasent {
char *alias_name; /* alias name */
size_t alias_members_len;
char **alias_members; /* alias name list */
int alias_local;
};
ЗНАЧЕНИЕ, ВОЗВРАЩАЕМОЕ ФУНКЦИЕЙ
The functions getaliasent_r() and getaliasbyname_r() return a
nonzero value on error.
ФАЙЛЫ
The default alias database is the file /etc/aliases. This can be
changed in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file.

ИСТОРИЯ
The NeXT system has similar routines:
#include <aliasdb.h>
void alias_setent(void);
void alias_endent(void);
alias_ent *alias_getent(void);
alias_ent *alias_getbyname(char *name);
ПРИМЕРЫ
The following example compiles with gcc example.c -o example. It
will dump all names in the alias database.
#include <aliases.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int
main(void)
{
struct aliasent *al;
setaliasent();
for (;;) {
al = getaliasent();
if (al == NULL)
break;
printf("Name: %s\n", al->alias_name);
}
if (errno) {
perror("reading alias");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
endaliasent();
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
