 NAME
   sec_id_parse_group - Translates a global name into group and cell names
                        and UUIDs

 SYNOPSIS

   #include <dce/secidmap.h>

   void sec_id_parse_group(
           sec_rgy_handle_t context,
           sec_rgy_name_t global_name,
           sec_rgy_name_t cell_namep,
           uuid_t *cell_idp,
           sec_rgy_name_t group_namep,
           uuid_t *group_idp,
           error_status_t *status);

 PARAMETERS

   Input

   context
         An opaque handle bound to a registry server.  Use
         sec_rgy_site_open() to acquire a bound handle.

   global_name
         The global (full) name of the group in sec_rgy_name_t form.

   Output

   cell_namep
         The output name of the group's home cell in sec_rgy_name_t form.

   cell_idp
         A pointer to the UUID of the home cell of the group whose name
         is in question.

   group_namep
         The local (with respect to the home cell) name of the group in
         sec_rgy_name_t form.

   group_idp
         A pointer to the UUID of the group whose name is in question.

   status
         A pointer to the completion status.  On successful completion, the
         function returns error_status_ok.  Otherwise, it returns an error.

 DESCRIPTION

   The sec_id_parse_group() routine translates a global group name into
   a cell name and a cell-relative group name.  It also returns the UUIDs
   associated with the group and its home cell.

   The routine will not produce translations to any name for which a NULL
   pointer has been supplied.

 FILES
     SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]SECIDMAP.IDL
                The idl file from which dce/secidmap.h was derived.

 ERRORS

   sec_id_e_name_too_long
                The name is too long for current implementation.

   sec_id_e_bad_cell_uuid
                The cell UUID is not valid.

   sec_rgy_object_not_found
                The registry server could not find the specified group.

   sec_rgy_server_unavailable
                The DCE Registry Server is unavailable.

   error_status_ok
                The call was successful.
