privileges(3) privileges(3)
privset_alloc()
Allocates memory for a privilege set of type
priv_set_t , but does not initialize the space.
The space allocated by this routine should be released using the
privset_free()
routine.
privset_copy()
Copies the privilege set referred to by srcp to the privilege set referred to by dstp.
privset_del()
Removes the privilege specified by num from the privilege set referred to by privp.
privset_empty()
Clears all privileges from privp.
privset_fill()
Assigns all privileges, including those not currently define on the system, to the privilege set
privp.
privset_free()
Deallocates the space used by the privilege set referred to by privp.Ifprivp is NULL, no action
occurs.
privset_intersect()
Finds the privileges that the privilege sets srcp and dstp have in common and places the results
in the privilege set dstp.
privset_inverse()
Inverts the privilege set pointed to by privp.
privset_isempty()
Checks whether the privilege set privp is the empty set.
privset_isequal()
Checks whether the privilege sets srcp and dstp are equal sets.
privset_isfull()
Check whether the privilege set privp is the full set of privileges. A full set of privileges is a set
with all bits set, regardless of whether the privilege is currently defined on the system.
privset_ismember()
Check whether the privilege privid is a member of the privilege set privp.
privset_issubset()
Checks whether the privilege set srcp is a subset of the privilege set dstp.
privset_subtract()
Subtracts the privilege set referred to by srcp from the privilege set referred to by dstp.
privset_union()
Checks the privileges in the privilege sets srcp and dstp and puts any privilege that is in either
set into dstp.
RETURN VALUE
priv_addset(), priv_delset(), and privset_delset()
return the following values:
0 Successful completion.
-1 Function failed. errno is set to indicate the error.
privset_isempty(), privset_isequal()
, privset_isfull(), priv_ismember(), and
privset_issubset() return the following values:
n!=0
Non-zero number. Condition is TRUE.
0 Condition is FALSE. errno is set to indicate the error.
privset_alloc() returns the following values:
pointer
Successful completions. Returns a non-null pointer to the allocated space.
NULL pointer
Function failed. Returns a null pointer and sets errno to indicate the error .
