SECMODEL_SUSER(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual SECMODEL_SUSER(9)
NAME
secmodel_suser -- super-user security model
DESCRIPTION
secmodel_suser implements the traditional super-user (root) as the user with effective user-id 0. The super-user is the host administrator,
considered to have higher privileges than other users.
FUNCTIONS
secmodel_suser exposes a secmodel_eval(9) evaluation routine to test whether a set of credentials can be assimilated to super-user creden-
tials or not.
The parameters to secmodel_eval(9) are:
id the unique identifier of secmodel_suser: "org.netbsd.secmodel.suser"
what a string, "is-root".
arg the kauth(9) credentials (kauth_cred_t) of the caller.
ret a boolean, set by secmodel_suser to true when the credentials are equivalent to super-user, false otherwise.
RETURN TYPES
If successful, the evaluation returns 0 with the ret argument being either true or false.
