af_protect(3) Attribute Filesystem (AtFS) af_protect(3)NAME
af_chowner, af_chauthor, af_chmod - AtFS protection handling
SYNOPSIS
#include <atfs.h>
int af_chowner (Af_key *aso, Af_user *owner)
int af_chauthor (Af_key *aso, Af_user *author)
int af_chmod (Af_key *aso, int mode)
DESCRIPTION
af_chowner and af_chauthor modify the owner and author attribute of an ASO. Only the superuser may change the owner of an object history.
The author attribute of an ASO can only be changed by it's owner. The Af_user structure has the following form
typedef struct {
char af_username[MAXUSERNAMELEN];
char af_userhost[MAXHOSTNAMELEN];
char af_userdomain[MAXDOMAIN+1];
} Af_user;
af_chmod changes the mode of an ASO. See chmod(3) for further details.
SEE ALSO
chown (2), chmod (2)
DIAGNOSTICS
Upon error, -1 is returned and af_errno is set to the corresponding error number.
BUGS
af_chowner does not work.

af_lock(3) Attribute Filesystem (AtFS) af_lock(3)NAME
af_lock, af_unlock, af_testlock - mechanism for reserving update rights in AtFS
SYNOPSIS
#include <atfs.h>
Af_user *af_lock (Af_key *aso, Af_user *locker)
Af_user *af_unlock (Af_key *aso)
Af_user *af_testlock (Af_key *aso)
DESCRIPTION
This manual page describes the interface to the AtFS locking mechanism. Locks are used to avoid conflicting updates to one object history.
After a user has reserved the update rights, no other user may add new versions to the reserved history. Reserving the update rights hap-
pens by locking the most recent version of the history. As AtFS allows adding new versions to each generation in a history, each genera-
tion may be locked separately. Reserving update rights for old generations (with generation numbers smaller than the newest generation) are
performed by locking the most recent version of the corresponding generation. Removing an ASO (af_rm - manual page af_files(3)) and chang-
ing an ASO's version number (af_svnum - manual page af_version(3)) also requires a lock on the corresponding ASO.
af_lock reserves the update permission for the user identified by locker. On successful completion, a buffer identical to locker is
returned, a NULL pointer otherwise.
af_unlock cancels a formerly established reservation of update rights. Only the owner or the locker of an ASO (identified by the Af_user
structure that was given to the corresponding call of af_lock) are allowed to do this. On successful completion, af_unlock returns a buffer
containing the identification of the former locker. This may be empty, if the ASO was not locked. Upon error, a NULL pointer is returned.
af_testlock returns a buffer containing an identification of the current locker of the specified ASO. It returns an empty buffer, if no
lock is set.
SEE ALSO af_version(3), af_files(3)DIAGNOSTICS
af_lock and af_unlock return -1 on error and af_errno is set to indicate the error number.
