Process Privilege Sets

These library routines set the effective, permitted, and inheritable privilege sets on a process. Refer to the set_effective_priv(3TSOL) man page.

int set_effective_priv(priv_op_t op, int privno, priv_t priv_id);

int set_permitted_priv(priv_op_t op, int privno, priv_t priv_id);

int set_inheritable_priv(priv_op_t op, int privno, priv_t priv_id);

You can also use setppriv(2) and getppriv(2) to access process privilege sets. The syntax is a little different, but the semantics are the same.
