NAME

csa_look_up — Looks up calendar information

SYNOPSIS

#include &<xcsa.h>
CSA_return_code csa_look_up(
CSA_session_handle session,
CSA_calendar_user *users,
CSA_flags look_up_flags,
CSA_uint32 *number_users,
CSA_calendar_user **user_list,
CSA_extension *look_up_extensions);

DESCRIPTION

The csa_look_up function looks up calendar addressing information in the directory provided by the CSA calendaring service. It primarily is used to resolves a user's friendly name to a calendar address.

Multiple addresses may be returned. An array of calendar user descriptors is allocated and returned containing fully resolved information about each entry.

ARGUMENTS

Session (Session Handle)

Opaque session handle that represents a session with the calendaring service.

Session handles are created by a logon function call and invalidated with a logoff function call.

If the session handle is invalid, then the error CSA_E_INVALID_SESSION_HANDLE is returned.

Users(Calendar User)

A pointer to a calendar user structure containing the user-friendly names whose calendar address is to be looked up. For name resolution, the name field in the structure contains the user name to be resolved. The user type can be set to provide information on desired resolution of the name. See the calendar user structure documentation for possible types. For displaying calendar user details, the calendar user structure must contain an entry that resolves to only one user. If not, the error CSA_E_AMBIGUOUS_USER will be returned. For both name resolution and displaying user details, all user structures except the first will be ignored.

Look Up Flags (Flags)

Bit mask of flags. Unspecified flags should always be passed as 0. Undocumented flags are reserved. Flag settings include:

CSA_LOOKUP_RESOLVE_PREFIX_SEARCH: If set, the search method should be prefix. Prefix search means that all names matching the prefix string, beginning at the first character of the name, will be matched. If not set, the search method should be exact match. CSA implementations are required to support simple prefix searching. The availability of wild-card or substring searches is optional.
CSA_LOOKUP_RESOLVE_IDENTITY: If set, the function will return a user record for the identity of the user in the calendar system. If this cannot be uniquely determined, ambiguous name resolution will be carried out. This allows the application to find out the address of the current user.

Look Up Extensions (Extension)

A pointer to an array of CSA_extension structures for this function. The array may contain both input extensions for providing additional information to the function and output extensions for receiving information from the function. A value of NULL indicates that the caller is not using any extensions. See the extensions structure for more information.

RETURN VALUE

Number Users (Uint32)

A pointer to the number of elements user_list. If no names match the criteria, a value of zero is returned, and the error CSA_E_USER_NOT_FOUND is returned.

User List (Calendar User)

A pointer to an array of one or more calendar user structures allocated by csa_look_up(3). The structure may then be used to fill in an attendee list structure. This pointer is allocated by the service, and should be freed with a single call to csa_free(3).

Look Up Extensions (Extension)

If output extensions were passed to the function in the extensions list, the results from the service will be available in the extension. See the extensions structure for more information. Whether the function succeeded or not, and, if not, why. It may be success or one of the values listed under ERRORS below.

ERRORS

The csa_look_up function returns the following error values:

CSA_E_AMBIGUOUS_USER: The calendar user's name is ambiguous; multiple matches have been found.
CSA_E_FAILURE: There was a general failure that does not fit the description of any other error code.

CSA_E_INVALID_DATA_EXT: The data extension requested is invalid.
CSA_E_INVALID_FLAG: A flag value in the flags argument was invalid.
CSA_E_INVALID_FUNCTION_EXT: The function extension requested is invalid.
CSA_E_INVALID_PARAMETER: A function parameter was invalid.
CSA_E_INVALID_SESSION_HANDLE: The specified Session Handle is invalid or no longer valid (e.g., after logging off).
CSA_E_NOT_SUPPORTED: The operation requested is not supported by this implementation.
CSA_E_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE: The requested calendar service is unavailable.
CSA_E_UNSUPPORTED_DATA_EXT: The data extension requested is not supported.
CSA_E_UNSUPPORTED_FLAG: The flag requested is not supported.
CSA_E_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION_EXT: The specified function extension is not supported or CSA_EXT_REQUIRED is set.
