NAME
       shisa_principal_update - API function


SYNOPSIS
       #include <shisa.h>

       int shisa_principal_update(Shisa * dbh, const char * realm, const char * principal, const Shisa_principal
       * ph);


ARGUMENTS
       Shisa * dbh Shisa library handle created by shisa().

       const char * realm
                   Name of the realm the principal belongs to.

       const char * principal
                   Name of principal to get information about.

       const Shisa_principal * ph
                   Pointer to an existing principal structure containing information to store in the database.


DESCRIPTION
       Modifies information stored about the given principal PRINCIPAL@REALM.  Note that it is  usually  a  good
       idea to set in ph only the fields that are to be updated.

       It  is  generally suggested to first call shisa_principal_find(), to get the current information, then to
       modify one field and call shisa_principal_update().

       Modifying several values is not recommended in general, as this will 1) overwrite any modifications  made
       to  other  fields  between  the two calls (by other processes) and 2) will cause all values to be written
       again, which may generate more overhead.


RETURN VALUE
       Returns SHISA_OK if successful, SHISA_NO_REALM if the indicated realm does not exist,  SHISA_NO_PRINCIPAL
       if the indicated principal does not exist, or an error code otherwise.
