NAME

       ct_tmpl_activate,  ct_tmpl_clear,  ct_tmpl_create,  ct_tmpl_set_cookie,	ct_tmpl_set_critical, ct_tmpl_set_informative, ct_tmpl_get_cookie,
       ct_tmpl_get_critical, ct_tmpl_get_informative - common contract template functions

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE  -lcontract  [ library... ]
       #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(4) 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 collec-
       tion 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(4)) and {PRIV_CONTRACT_EVENT} was not in the
		effective set for the calling process.
