 NAME
   sec_rgy_attr_sch_cursor_init - Initialize and allocate a cursor used
                                  with the sec_rgy_attr_sch_scan call

 SYNOPSIS

   #include <dce/sec_rgy_attr_sch.h>

   void sec_rgy_attr_cursor_init(
           sec_rgy_handle_t context,
           sec_attr_component_name_t schema_name,
           unsigned32 *cur_num_entries,
           sec_attr_cursor_t *cursor,
           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.

   schema_name
          Reserved for future use.

   Output

   cur_num_entries
          A pointer to an unsigned 32-bit integer that specifies the
          total number of entries contained in the schema at the time
          of this call.

   cursor
          A pointer to a sec_attr_cursor_t that is initialized to the
          first entry in the the schema.

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

 DESCRIPTION

   The sec_rgy_attr_sch_cursor_init() call initializes and allocates
   resources to a cursor used with the sec_rgy_attr_sch_scan call.  This
   call makes remote calls to initialize the cursor.  To limit the number
   of remote calls, use the sec_rgy_attr_sch_cursor_alloc() call to
   allocate cursor, but not initialize it.  Be aware, however, that the
   sec_rgy_attr_sch_cursor_init() call supplies the total number of entries
   found in the schema as an output parameter; the
   sec_rgy_attr_sch_cursor_alloc() call does not.

   If the cursor iunput to sec_rgy_attr_sch_scan has not been initialized,
   the sec_rgy_attr_sch_scan call will initialize it; if it has been
   initialized, sec_rgy_attr_sch_scan advances it.

   Permissions Required

   None.
