SYNOPSIS
#include <priv.h>
int priv_addset(priv_set_t *sp, const char *priv);
priv_set_t *priv_allocset(void);
void priv_copyset(const priv_set_t *src, priv_set_t *dst);
int priv_delset(priv_set_t *sp, const char *priv);
void priv_emptyset(priv_set_t *sp);
void priv_fillset(priv_set_t *sp);
void priv_freeset(priv_set_t *sp);
void priv_intersect(const priv_set_t *src, priv_set_t *dst);
void priv_inverse(priv_set_t *sp);
boolean_t priv_isemptyset(const priv_set_t *sp);
boolean_t priv_isequalset(const priv_set_t *src, const priv_set_t *dst);
boolean_t priv_isfullset(const priv_set_t *sp);
boolean_t priv_ismember(const priv_set_t *sp, const char *priv);
boolean_t priv_issubset(const priv_set_t *src, const priv_set_t *dst);
void priv_union(const priv_set_t *src, priv_set_t *dst);
The sp, src, and dst arguments point to privilege sets. The priv argument points to a named privilege.
The priv_addset() function adds the named privilege priv to sp.
The priv_allocset() function allocates sufficient memory to contain a privilege set. The value of the returned privilege set is indetermi-
nate. The function returns NULL and sets errno when it fails to allocate memory.
The priv_copyset() function copies the set src to dst.
The priv_delset() function removes the named privilege priv from sp.
The priv_emptyset() function clears all privileges from sp.
The priv_fillset() function asserts all privileges in sp, including the privileges not currently defined in the system.
The priv_freeset() function frees the storage allocated by priv_allocset().
The priv_intersect() function intersects src with dst and places the results in dst.
The priv_inverse() function inverts the privilege set given as argument in place.
The priv_isemptyset() function checks whether the argument is an empty set.
The priv_isequalset() function checks whether the privilege set src is equal to dst.
The priv_isfullset() function checks whether the argument is a full set. A full set is a set with all bits set, regardless of whether the
privilege is currently defined in the system.
The priv_ismember() function checks whether the named privilege priv is a member of sp.
The priv_issubset() function checks whether src is a subset of dst.
The priv_union() function takes the union of src and dst and places the result in dst.
Upon successful completion, priv_allocset() returns a pointer to an opaque data structure. It returns NULL if memory allocation fails and
sets errno to indicate the error.
Upon successful completion, priv_isemptyset(), priv_isfullset(), priv_isequalset(), priv_issubset(), and priv_ismember() return B_TRUE.
Otherwise, they return B_FALSE.
Upon successful completion, priv_delset() and priv_addset() return 0. Otherwise, they return -1 and set errno to indicate the error.
The priv_allocset() function will fail if:
ENOMEM The physical limits of the system are exceeded by the memory allocation needed to hold a privilege set.
EAGAIN There is insufficient memory for allocation to hold a privilege set. The application can try again later.
The priv_delset() and priv_addset() functions will fail if:
EINVAL The privilege argument is not a valid privilege name.

The functions that compare sets operate on all bits of the set, regardless of whether the specific privileges are currently defined in the
system.
