NAME

Ppriv, Ppriv_free - get and free process privilege sets

LIBRARY

Process Control Library (libproc, -lproc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <libproc.h>

int
Ppriv(struct ps_prochandle *P, prpriv_t **pprv);

void
Ppriv_free(struct ps_prochandle *P, prpriv_t *prv);

DESCRIPTION

The Ppriv() function obtains the privilege set of the process handle P.
The privilege set, if it exists, will be dynamically allocated and a
pointer to it will be placed in pprv. It must be released with a call to
Ppriv_free(). The definition of the prpriv_t structure is documented in
proc(5).

The Ppriv_free() function releases the storage in prv that was allocated as
a result of calling Ppriv().

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, the Ppriv() function returns 0 and pprv is
updated with a pointer to the allocated privilege set. Otherwise, -1 is
returned and pprv is not updated.

INTERFACE STABILITY

Uncommitted

MT-LEVEL
