 NAME
   dce_attr_sch_scan - Read a specified number of schema entries

 SYNOPSIS

   #include <dce/dce_attr_base.h>

   void dce_attr_sch_scan( dce_attr_sch_handle_t h,
                           dce_attr_cursor_t *cursor,
                           unsigned32 num_to_read,
                           unsigned32 *num_read,
                           dce_attr_schema_entry_t schema_entries[],
                           error_status_t *status );

 PARAMETERS

   Input

   h      An opaque handle bound to a schema object.  Use
          dce_attr_sch_bind() to acquire the handle.

   num_to_read
          An unsigned 32-bit integer specifying the size of the
          schema_entries[] array and the maximum number of entries to
          be returned.

   Input/Output

   cursor
          A pointer to a dce_attr_cursor_t.  As input cursor must
          be allocated and can be initialized. If cursor is not
          initialized, dce_attr_sch_scan will initialize it.  As
          output, cursor is positioned at the first schema entry
          after the returned entries.

   Output

   num_read
          A pointer to an unsigned 32-bit integer specifying the number
          of entries returned in schema_entries[].

   schema_entries[]
          A dce_attr_schema_entry_t that contains an array of the
          returned schema entries.

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

 DESCRIPTION

   The dce_attr_sch_scan() routine reads schema entries. The read
   begins at the entry at which the input cursor is positioned and
   ends after the number of entries specified in num_to_read.

   The input cursor must have been allocated by either the
   dce_attr_sch_cursor_init() or the dce_attr_sch_cursor_alloc() call.
   If the input cursor is not initialized, dce_attr_sch_scan()
   initializes it; if cursor is initialized, dce_attr_sch_scan() simply
   advances it.

   To read all entries in a schema, make successive dce_attr_sch_scan()
   calls.  When all entries have been read, the call returns the message
   no_more_entries.

   This routine is useful as a browser.

   Permissions Required

   The dce_attr_sch_scan() routine requires requires appropriate
   permissions on the schema object. These permissions are managed
   by the target server.
