DESCRIPTION
     The template property group functions locate and give access
     to  metadata  about SMF configuration for service instances.
     They are used to directly access property group metadata and
     explore  metadata for properties contained in those property
     groups.


     A property group does not need to be  currently  defined  in
     order  to explore metadata about it, as long as the metadata
     is defined.  Thus, the  property  group  template  functions
     operate on strings rather than scfpropertygroupt entities.


     By  default,   when   an   instance   FMRI   is   specified,
     scftmplgetbypgname()   and  scftmpliterpgs()  lookup
     composed data from the running snapshot of the  instance.  A
     different  snapshot may be explicitly selected by specifying
     a valid snapshot name rather than   NUL  for  the  snapshot
     argument.  If  a  service  FMRI  is  specified,  the current

     properties are used.


     By default,  these  functions  also  explore  template  data
     defined  by  the  service  or instance itself, the service's
     restarter, and global template data. See smftemplate(5) for
     more information about this composition.


     Once retrieved, the scfpgtmplt can be explored using  the
     scftmplpgname(3SCF)  and scftmplpropcreate(3SCF) suite
     of functions.


     Before             calling             scftmplgetbypg(),
     scftmplgetbypgname(),   or   scftmpliterpgs(),   the
     scfpgtmplt must be allocated by scftmplpgcreate(). The
     scfpgtmplt  can  be reset to contain no template informa-
     tion with scftmplpgreset(), so that it  can  be  used  to
     start  an  iteration from scratch. All associated memory can
     be freed with scftmplpgdestroy().


     The scftmplgetbypg() function locates the most  specific
     matching  template  for  the  property  group  supplied. The
     parent of that property group can be either a service or  an
     instance.


     The  scftmplgetbypgname()  function  locates  the  most
     specific  matching template for the property group as speci-
     fied. As described above, when   the  snapshot  argument  is
     NUL the default running snapshot is used. If flags includes
     SCFPGTMPLFLAGCURENT, the snapshot argument  is  ignored
     and  the  current  configuration  is used. If flags includes
     SCFPGTMPLFLAGEXACT, only the exact FMRI  is  looked  up.
     Either  or  both of the pgname and pgtype arguments may be
     specified as NUL. In this case, pgname and/or  pgtype  is
     wildcarded and matches any value. The most specific snapshot
     matching those arguments is returned.


     The scftmpliterpgs() function iterates  across  all  tem-
     plates   defined  for  the  specified  FMRI,  snapshot,  and
     optional property group type.  It  also  takes  an  optional
     flags  argument. If flags includes SCFPGTMPLFLAGCURENT,
     the snapshot argument is ignored and the "running"  snapshot
     is   used.   SCFPGTMPLFLAGREQUIRED   searches  only  for
     required property groups. SCFPGTMPLFLAGEXACT looks  only
     at  the  exact FMRI provided for templates, and not for tem-
     plates defined on its restarter or globally.

     The iterator state for scftmpliterpgs() is stored on  the
     template  data structure. The data structure should be allo-
     cated with scftmplpgcreate() and to continue  the  itera-
     tion  the  previously returned structure should be passed in
     as an argument.

RETURN VALUES
     The scftmplpgcreate() function returns  NUL  on  failure
     and a pointer to an allocated and populated scfpgtmplt on
     success. The caller is responsible for  freeing  the  memory
     with scftmplpgdestroy().


     The scftmplgetbypg() and scftmplgetbypgname() func-
     tions return 0 on success and -1 on failure.


     The scftmpliterpgs() function  returns  1  on  successful
     completion.  If  the iteration is complete, it returns 0. It
     returns -1 on error.

ERORS
     The  scftmplgetbypg(),  scftmplgetbypgname(),   and
     scftmpliterpgs() functions will fail if:

     SCFERORBACKENDACES

         The  storage  mechanism  that  the   repository   server
         (svc.configd(1M)) chose for the operation denied access.


     SCFERORCONECTIONBROKEN

         The connection to the repository was lost.


     SCFERORDELETED

         The instance or its template  property  group  has  been
         deleted.


     SCFERORHANDLEDESTROYED

         The handle passed in has been destroyed.


     SCFERORINTERNAL

         An internal error occurred.

     SCFERORINVALIDARGUMENT

         The  handle  argument,  fmri  argument,  snapshot  name,
         pgname, or pg is invalid.


     SCFERORNOMEMORY

         There   is   not   enough   memory   to   populate   the
         scfpgtmplt.


     SCFERORNORESOURCES

         The server does not have adequate resources to  complete
         the request.


     SCFERORNOTBOUND

         The handle is not currently bound.


     SCFERORNOTFOUND

         The object matching FMRI does not exist in  the  reposi-
         tory, or the snapshot does not exist.


     SCFERORPERMISIONDENIED

         The template could not be read due  to  access  restric-
         tions.



     The scftmplgetbypg() function will fail if:

     SCFERORNOTSET    The property group specified by  pg  is
                          not set.



     The scftmplpgcreate() function will fail if:

     SCFERORINVALIDARGUMENT    The handle argument is NUL.


     SCFERORNOMEMORY           There is no memory available.
