System Calls

These system calls get and set file and process privilege sets.

File Sets

These system calls get and set the file privilege set using the full path name of the file. Refer to the getfpriv(2) man page.

int getfpriv( char *path,
	priv_ftype_t type,
	priv_set_t *priv_set);

int setfpriv( char *path,
	priv_op_t op,
	priv_ftype_t type,
	priv_set_t *priv_set);

These system calls get and set file privilege set using a file descriptor. Refer to the getfpriv(2) man page.

int fgetfpriv(int fd,
	priv_ftype_t type,
	priv_set_t *priv_set);

int fsetfpriv(int fd,
	priv_op_t op,
	priv_ftype_t type,
	priv_set_t *priv_set);

Process Sets

These system calls get and set process privilege sets. Refer to the getppriv(2) man page.

int getppriv(priv_ptype_t type, priv_set_t *priv_set);

int setppriv(priv_op_t op,
	priv_ptype_t type,
	priv_set_t *priv_set);

You can also use the library routines below to access process privilege sets. The syntax is a little different, but the semantics are the same.
