Parameters
user-name:user-maxlen
input, output:input
STRING .EXT:ref:*, INT:value
on input, if present and if user-curlen is not 0, specifies the user name or alias for which
the default information is to be returned.
On output, if user-id is specified, this parameter returns the corresponding user name;
otherwise, it remains unchanged from input.
user-name is passed, and returned, in one of two forms:
groupname.membername
The group name and member name are each up to 8 alphanumeric characters long, and
the first character must be a letter. The group name and member name are separated by
a period (.).
alias
The alias is a case-sensitive string made up of 1 through 32 alphanumeric characters,
periods (.), hyphens (-), or underscores (_). The first character must be alphanumeric.
The user-maxlen parameter specifies the length of the string variable user-name in bytes.
This parameter pair is required if user-curlen is specified.
user-curlen
input, output
INT .EXT:ref:1
on input, if user-name is specified, contains the actual length of user-name in bytes. A
value of 0 indicates that user-name is treated as an output parameter and user-id is treated
as an input parameter. The default value is 0.
On output, if user-name is returned, this parameter contains the actual length in bytes.
This parameter is required if user-name:user-maxlen is specified.
user-id
input, output
INT(32) .EXT:ref:1
on input, if user-curlen is 0 or omitted, specifies the user ID for which the default information
is to be returned.
