My FreeBSD actually uses the GNU version of ar from binutils.
Code:
$ ar V
GNU ar 2.15 [FreeBSD] 2004-05-23

so I decided to install bsd-ar just for fun
Code:
$ ./ar V
BSD ar 1.0.2 - libarchive 2.5.5
$

However, you will find the sources here:

#include <sys/param.h> #include <sys/systm.h> #include <sys/ucred.h> int cr_cansee(struct ucred *u1, struct ucred *u2); DESCRIPTION
This function determines the visibility of objects in the kernel based on the real user IDs and group IDs in the credentials u1 and u2 asso- ciated with them. The visibility of objects is influenced by the sysctl(8) variables security.bsd.see_other_gids and security.bsd.see_other_uids, as per the description in cr_seeothergids(9) and cr_seeotheruids(9) respectively. RETURN VALUES
This function returns zero if the object with credential u1 can ``see'' the object with credential u2, or ESRCH otherwise. ERRORS
[ESRCH] The object with credential u1 cannot ``see'' the object with credential u2. [ESRCH] The object with credential u1 has been jailed and the object with credential u2 does not belong to the same jail as u1. [ESRCH] The MAC subsystem denied visibility. SEE ALSO
