[PATCH] util: Improve error reporting from getgrnam_r and friends

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Error reporting for getgrnam_r() isn't that broken as in getgrnam().

This patch enhances virGetUserIDByName() and virGetGroupIDByName() so
that they error out if retrieval of the information failed but just log
a debug message if the entry was not found.

>From the man page for getgrnam_r():

RETURN VALUE
  ...
  On success, getgrnam_r() and getgrgid_r() return zero, and set *result
  to grp.  If no matching group record was found, these functions return
  0 and store NULL in *result.  In case of error, an error number is
  returned, and NULL is stored in *result.
