MBR_UID_TO_UUID

NAME
     mbr_uid_to_uuid, mbr_gid_to_uuid, mbr_uuid_to_id, mbr_sid_to_uuid,
     mbr_uuid_to_sid -- translate user and group identifiers from one form to
     another

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <membership.h>

     int
     mbr_uid_to_uuid(uid_t id, uuid_t uu);

     int
     mbr_gid_to_uuid(gid_t id, uuid_t uu);

     int
     mbr_uuid_to_id(uuid_t uu, uid_t* id, int* id_type);

     int
     mbr_sid_to_uuid(const nt_sid_t* sid, uuid_t uu);

     int
     mbr_uuid_to_sid(uuid_t uu, const nt_sid_t* sid);

DESCRIPTION
     Users and groups can be referred to in multiple ways.  In addition to the
     traditional uid and gid concepts, every user or group can be looked up by
     a 128 bit uuid.  In addition, if the user or group is hosted on a PDC or
     Active Directory server, it will also have a 128 bit or larger sid.

     mbr_uid_to_uuid() will take a uid and look up the user the same way as
     getpwuid.  It will then return the uuid for that user.

     mbr_gid_to_uuid() does the same thing to get the uuid for a group.

     mbr_uuid_to_id() takes a uuid that refers to a user or group and returns
     the uid or gid for the item.  id_type will be filled in with either
     ID_TYPE_UID or ID_TYPE_GID to tell you which was found.  It is important
     to note that mbr_uuid_to_id() will always return an id even if the uuid
     is not found.  This returned id is not persistant, but can be used to map
     back to the uuid during runtime.  If you need to know if the uuid exists,
     you should call getgrgid on the returned id.

     mbr_sid_to_uuid() takes a sid and returns the associated uuid.  Like
     mbr_uuid_to_id() , mbr_uuid_to_sid() will always return a uuid for the
     sid, even if the sid cannot be found.

     mbr_sid_to_uuid() will return a sid for the associate uuid if the item
     contains a sid.

RETURN VALUES
     All function may return EIO if the memberd daemon is not reachable.  They
     will also return ENOENT if the mapping could not be performed.
