I hate to be picky like this, but this second function could be improved.

The first function is fine, it's named "get_*" and it really does return
a value.

But the second one, it's also named "get_*" but it doesn't return the
stated value.  Instead, it assigns it into a structure.

The return value is always zero, so I suggest you make it return void and
adjust the name.  Perhaps "fill_in_real_sgid_index", since that states
explicitly that the value is "filled in" to the passed ah_attr.
