       priv_isfullset($set)

	   This function returns whether or not $set is full.

       priv_isequalset($a, $b)

	   This function returns whether sets $a and $b are equal.

       priv_issubset($a, $b)

       priv_ismember($set, $priv)

	   This function returns whether $priv is a member of $set.

       priv_ineffect($priv)

	   This function returned whether $priv is in the process's effective set.

       priv_intersect($a, $b)

       priv_union($a, $b)

	   This function returns a new privilege set which is the union of $a and $b.

       priv_inverse($a)
