   Security Restrictions
       The  system  call is subject to compartmental restrictions.  See compartments(5) for more information about compartmentalization on systems

       may  not  have  this privilege.	Processes owned by any user may have this privilege, depending on system configuration.  See privileges(5)
       for more information about privileged access on systems that support fine-grained privileges.

RETURN VALUE
       The functions return the following values:

	      Successful completion.
		     n is a nonnegative process ID, as described above.
	      Failure:
