door_cred(3DOOR)					      Door Library Functions						  door_cred(3DOOR)

NAME

       door_cred - return credential information associated with the client

SYNOPSIS

       cc -mt [ flag ... ] file ... -ldoor  [ library ... ]
       #include <door.h>

       int door_cred(door_cred_t *info);

DESCRIPTION

       The  door_cred() function returns credential information associated with the  client (if any) of the current door invocation.

       The contents of the info argument include the following fields:

       uid_t   dc_euid;        /* Effective uid of client */
       gid_t   dc_egid;        /* Effective gid of client */
       uid_t   dc_ruid;        /* Real uid of client */
       gid_t   dc_rgid;        /* Real gid of client */
       pid_t   dc_pid;	       /* pid of client */

       The  credential	information associated with the client refers to the information from the immediate caller; not necessarily from the first
       thread in a chain of door calls.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, door_cred() returns 0. Otherwise, door_cred() returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The  door_cred() function will fail if:

       EFAULT	       The address of the info argument is invalid.

       EINVAL	       There is no associated door client.

USAGE

       The door_cred() function is obsolete. Applications should use the door_ucred(3DOOR) function in place of door_cred().
