File Formats                                           project(4)



NAME
     project - project file

DESCRIPTION
     The project file is a local source of  project  information.
     The  project file can be used in conjunction with other pro-
     ject sources, including  the  NIS  maps  project.byname  and
     project.bynumber and the LDAP database project. Programs use
     the getprojent(3PROJECT) routines to  access  this  informa-
     tion.

     The project file contains a one-line entry for each  project
     recognized by the system, of the form:

     projname:projid:comment:user-list:group-list:attributes


     where the fields are defined as:

     projname

         The name of the project. Allowable  project  names  must
         begin  with  a letter, and may be composed of any letter
         or digit and the underscore character. The period  ('.')
         is  reserved  for  projects  with special meaning to the
         operating system.



     projid

         The project's unique numerical ID  (PROJID)  within  the
         system. The maximum value of the projid field is MAXPRO-
         JID. Project IDs below 100 are reserved
          for the use of the operating system.



     comment

         The project's description.



     user-list

         A comma-separated list of users allowed in the  project.
         With  the  exception of the special projects referred to
         below, an empty field indicates no  users  are  allowed.
         See note about the use of wildcards below.

     group-list

         A comma-separated list of groups of users allowed in the
         project.  With  the  exception  of  the special projects
         referred to below, an empty field  indicates  no  groups
         are allowed. See note about the use of wildcards below.



     attributes

         A semicolon-separated list of  name  value  pairs.  Each
         pair has the following format:

         name[=value]

         where name is the arbitrary string specifying the  key's
         name and value is the optional key value. An explanation
         of the valid name-value pair syntax is provided  in  the
         USAGE  section  of this page. The expected most frequent
         use of the attribute field is for the  specification  of
         resource   controls.   See  resource_controls(5)  for  a
         description of the resource controls  supported  in  the
         current release of the Solaris operating system. You can
         also use the attribute  field  for  resource  caps  (see
         rcapd(1M))  and  for  the  project.pool  attribute  (see
         setproject(3PROJECT)).



     Null entries (empty fields) in the user-list and  group-list
     fields,  which  normally  mean  "no  users" and "no groups",
     respectively, have a different meaning in  the  entries  for
     three  special projects, user.username, group.groupname, and
     default. See getprojent(3PROJECT) for a description of these
     projects.

     Wildcards can be used in user-list and group-list fields  of
     the  project  database  entry.  The asterisk (*), allows all
     users or groups to join the project.  The  exclamation  mark
     followed  by the asterisk (!*), excludes all users or groups
     from the project. The exclamation mark  (!)  followed  by  a
     username  or  groupname excludes the specified user or group
     from the project. See EXAMPLES, below.

     Malformed entries cause routines  that  read  this  file  to
     halt,  in  which  case project assignments specified further
     along are never made. Blank lines are treated  as  malformed
     entries  in the project file, and cause getprojent(3PROJECT)
     and derived interfaces to fail.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1: Sample project File

     The following is a sample project file:

     system:0:System:::
     user.root:1:Super-User:::
     noproject:2:No Project:::
     default:3::::
     group.staff:10::::
     beatles:100:The Beatles:john,paul,george,ringo::task.max-lwps=
         (privileged,100,signal=SIGTERM),(privileged,110,deny);
         process.max-file-descriptor


     Note that the two line breaks in the line that  begins  with
     beatles are not valid in a project file. They are shown here
     only to allow  the  example  to  display  on  a  printed  or
     displayed page. Each entry must be on one and only one line.

     An example project entry for nsswitch.conf(4) is:

     project: files nis


     With these entries, the project beatles  will  have  members
     john,  paul,  george,  and ringo, and all projects listed in
     the NIS project table are effectively incorporated after the
     entry for beatles.

     The beatles project has two values set on the  task.max-lwps
     resource  control.  When  a  task  in  the  beatles  project
     requests (via one of its member  processes)  its  100th  and
     110th LWPs, an action associated with the encountered thres-
     hold triggers.  Upon the request for the 100th LWP, the pro-
     cess  making  the  request is sent the signal SIGTERM and is
     granted the request for an  additional  lightweight  process
     (LWP). At this point, the threshold for 110 LWPs becomes the
     active threshold. When a request for the 110th  LWP  in  the
     task  is made, the requesting process is denied the request-
     -no LWP will be  created.  Since  the  110th  LWP  is  never
     granted,  the  threshold  remains active, and all subsequent
     requests for an 110th LWP will fail. (If LWPs are given  up,
     then  subsequent  requests  will  succeed, unless they would
     take the total number of LWPs across the task over 110.) The
     process.max-file-descriptor  resource  control  is  given no
     values. This means that processes entering this project will
     only have the system resource control value on this rctl.

     Example 2: Project Entry with Wildcards





SunOS 5.10           Last change: 1 Oct 2004                    3






File Formats                                           project(4)



     The following entries use wildcards:

     notroot:200:Shared Project:*,!root::
     notused:300:Unused Project::!*:

     In this example, any user except "root" is a member of  pro-
     ject  "nonroot".  For  the project "notused", all groups are
     excluded.

USAGE
     The project database offers a reasonably flexible  attribute
     mechanism  in  the  final  name-value pair field. Name-value
     pairs are separated from one another with the semicolon  (;)
     character.  The  name  is  in  turn  distinguished  from the
     (optional) value by the equals  (=)  character.   The  value
     field can contain multiple values separated by the comma (,)
     character, with grouping support (into further values lists)
     by  parentheses. Each of these values can be composed of the
     upper and lower case alphabetic characters, the  digits  '0'
     through '9', and the punctuation characters hyphen (-), plus
     (+), period (.), slash  (/),  and  underscore  (_).  Example
     resource  control value specifications are provided in EXAM-
     PLES,    above,    and    in    resource_controls(5)     and
     getprojent(3PROJECT).
