NAME

       siad_chk_invoker - check invoker dependent routine for SIA (Security Integration Architecture)

LIBRARY

       Standard C library (libc.so and libc.a)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sia.h>
       #include <siad.h>

       int siad_chk_invoker (void)

DESCRIPTION

   siad_chk_invoker()
       The  siad_chk_invoker() routine is called to verify that the calling program is sufficiently privileged to perform security checks or secu-
       rity information updates. Usually only the local security mechanism is configured to  perform this check.  Although multiple mechanisms can
       be utilized.

RETURN VALUES

       The siad_chk_invoker() routine returns a bitmapped value which indicate the following status:

       SIADSUCCESS     Indicates unconditional success. All bits set to 0.

       SIADFAIL        Indicates conditional failure. Lowest bit set to 1.  If other security mechanism are in place, continue.

       SIADSTOP        Indicates unconditional failure. Do not continue.  Second lowest bit set to 1.

ERRORS

       The errno values are those returned from the dynamic loader interface, from the (siad_*) routines, or from malloc.  Possible errors include
       resource constraints (no memory) and various authentication failures.

FILES

       /etc/passwd
