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).
