Function Call to Get User's Attribute from Users File?

[jobhunts02 at aol.com]

I have a vendor specific attribute, Max-Data-Bytes, defined for users to set a maximum data usage for each user.  I am using rlm_counter.c to keep track of how much a data usage a user has. When an Accounting-Request comes in, I update the total usage so far for the user. I would then like to compare this number to the user's Max-Data-Bytes value in the users file to determine if the user should be disconnected.
