SECURELEVEL_GT(9)					   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual					 SECURELEVEL_GT(9)

NAME

     securelevel_gt, securelevel_ge -- test active securelevel

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/proc.h>

     int
     securelevel_gt(struct ucred *cr, int level);

     int
     securelevel_ge(struct ucred *cr, int level);

DESCRIPTION

     These functions test the active security level against the given level.  If the calling credential cr was imprisoned by the jail(2) system
     call, and has a different security level set than the host environment, the security level with the highest value is used.

     The securelevel_gt() function will evaluate whether or not the active security level is greater than the supplied level.

     The securelevel_ge() function will evaluate whether or not the active security level is greater than or equal to the supplied level.

RETURN VALUES

     These functions return EPERM if condition evaluated to true, and 0 otherwise.

CR_CANSEE(9)						   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual					      CR_CANSEE(9)

NAME

     cr_cansee -- determine visibility of objects given their user credentials

SYNOPSIS

     #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.
