hashtable_import

Syntax
int hashtable_import ( int hid, string filename )
Description

hashtable_import reads a specified file and uses the contents to create a hash table containing hash table entries, one per line, consisting of a single hash key, a colon, and a comma-separated list of hash values. The file may also contain comments delimited by the # character.

If successfully imported, it returns the number of entries in the hash table.

Example
#File admgroups.txt contains the formatted text 
unxadm:john,bob,fred,jane 
winadm:mary,chris,henry 

#policy loads this file into a hashtable that identifies the group permissions, 
hid=hashtable_create(); 
count=hashtable_import(hid, "/etc/opt/quest/qpm4u/tables/admgroups.txt"); 
printf("Import loaded %d groups\n", count); 
unxadm=hashtable_lookup(hid, "unxadm"); 
if (user !in unxadm) 
{ 
   reject "You are not authorized to run this command"; 
}
