SYNOPSIS

#include <libcontract.h>

int ct_tmpl_activate(int fd);


int ct_tmpl_clear(int fd);


int ct_tmpl_create(int fd, ctid_t *idp);


int ct_tmpl_set_cookie(int fd, uint64_t cookie);


int ct_tmpl_set_critical(int fd, uint_t events);


int ct_tmpl_set_informative(int fd, uint_t events);


int ct_tmpl_get_cookie(int fd, uint64_t *cookiep);


int ct_tmpl_get_critical(int fd, uint_t *eventsp);


int ct_tmpl_get_informative(int fd, uint_t *eventsp);


DESCRIPTION


These functions operate on contract template file descriptors obtained
from the contract(5) file system.


The ct_tmpl_activate() function makes the template referenced by the file
descriptor fd the active template for the calling thread.


The ct_tmpl_clear() function clears calling thread's active template.


The ct_tmpl_create() function uses the template referenced by the file
descriptor fd to create a new contract. If successful, the ID of the
newly created contract is placed in *idp.


The ct_tmpl_set_cookie() and ct_tmpl_get_cookie() functions write and
read the cookie term of a contract template. The cookie term is ignored
by the system, except to include its value in a resulting contract's
status object. The default cookie term is 0.


The ct_tmpl_set_critical() and ct_tmpl_get_critical() functions write and
read the critical event set term. The value is a collection of bits as
described in the contract type's manual page.


The ct_tmpl_set_informative() and ct_tmpl_get_informative() functions
write and read the informative event set term. The value is a collection
of bits as described in the contract type's manual page.

RETURN VALUES


Upon successful completion, ct_tmpl_activate(), ct_tmpl_create(),
ct_tmpl_set_cookie(), ct_tmpl_get_cookie(), ct_tmpl_set_critical(),
ct_tmpl_get_critical(), ct_tmpl_set_informative(), and
ct_tmpl_get_informative() return 0. Otherwise, they return a non-zero
error value.

ERRORS


The ct_tmpl_create() function will fail if:

ERANGE
The terms specified in the template were unsatisfied at the
time of the call.


EAGAIN
The project.max-contracts resource control would have been
exceeded.


The ct_tmpl_set_critical() and ct_tmpl_set_informative() functions will
fail if:

EINVAL
An invalid event was specified.


The ct_tmpl_set_critical() function will fail if:

EPERM
One of the specified events was disallowed given other contract
terms (see contract(5)) and {PRIV_CONTRACT_EVENT} was not in the
effective set for the calling process.
