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"; 
}

Syntax

list hashtable_lookup ( int hid, string key)

Description

hashtable_lookup searches the specified hash table for the key.

If it finds the key, it returns the associated list, otherwise it returns an empty list.

Example

hid=hashtable_create(); 
hashtable_add(hid, "unxadm", {"johnd", "davel", "jamesp"}); 
hashtable_add(hid, "winadm", {"marym", "stevec", "janel"}); 
print("Windows Admin Group:" + hashtable_lookup(hid, "winadm"));

Input and output functions

These are the built-in input and output functions available to use within the policy file.

Table 35: Input and output functions
Name	Description
fprintf	Write a string to a file on the policy server.
input	Request input from the user.
inputnoecho	Request input from the user without echoing to the screen.
print	Print a string to stdout with newline.
printf	Print a string to stdout.
printnnl	Print a string to stdout without newline.
printvars	Print the policy variables to stdout.
readdir	Return the list of entries in a directory as a string.
readfile	Read from a file on the policy server.
sprintf	Format a string.
syslog	Log a message to the syslog file.

fprintf

Syntax

fprintf ( string filename, string format [, string expression...] )

Description

The fprintf function is similar to printf except that the first argument is a filename. It appends the formatted string to the specified file.

NOTE: For more information about formatting parameters, see the printf(3) man page.

Example

This example appends the string "End of file" to the pmlog file in the specified format.

fprintf("/var/adm/pmlog", "%s\n", "End of file";
