DlpReadUserInfo(3)

read and write user information to/from a PalmOS device

NAME

DlpReadUserInfo, DlpWriteUserInfo – read and write user information to/from a PalmOS device

LIBRARY

libpconn

SYNOPSIS

#include <palm.h>

#include <pconn/pconn.h>

int

DlpReadUserInfo(PConnection *pconn, struct dlp_userinfo *userinfo);

int

DlpWriteUserInfo(PConnection *pconn, const struct dlp_setuserinfo *userinfo);

DESCRIPTION

DlpReadUserInfo() reads user information from pconn and stores it in userinfo. The dlp_userinfo structure is defined in <pconn/dlp_cmd.h> as

struct dlp_userinfo
{
	udword userid;
	udword viewerid;
	udword lastsyncPC;
	struct dlp_time lastgoodsync;
	struct dlp_time lastsync;
	ubyte usernamelen;
	ubyte passwdlen;
	char username[DLPCMD_USERNAME_LEN];
	ubyte passwd[256];
};

DlpWriteUserInfo() writes user information to the Palm. The dlp_setuserinfo structure is defined as

struct dlp_setuserinfo
{
	udword userid;
	udword viewerid;
	udword lastsyncPC;
	struct dlp_time lastsync;
	ubyte modflags;
	ubyte usernamelen;
	const char *username;
};

The modflags field specifies which fields contain values and should therefore be uploaded. It should be the bitwise-or of zero or more of the following:

DLPCMD_MODUIFLAG_USERID
DLPCMD_MODUIFLAG_SYNCPC
DLPCMD_MODUIFLAG_SYNCDATE
DLPCMD_MODUIFLAG_USERNAME
DLPCMD_MODUIFLAG_VIEWERID

RETURN VALUE

DlpReadUserInfo() and DlpWriteUserInfo() return 0 if successful, or a negative value in case of error.
