PRIV_OPEN(3) Subroutines PRIV_OPEN(3)NAMEpriv_open - open and possibly create a privileged file
SYNOPSIS
#include <privman.h>
int priv_open(const char *pathname, int flags);
int priv_open(const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode);
DESCRIPTIONpriv_open is equivalent to the open(2) syscall. It converts a pathname
into a file descriptor that can be used with read, write, and other
such calls. priv_open takes the same flags as open(2).
priv_open will only succeed if the configuration file for the applica‐
tion allows the access.
RETURN VALUEpriv_open returns the new file descriptor, or -1 if an error occurred
(in which case, errno is set appropriately). See open(2) for more
details, as this method parallels it.
FILES
${prefix}/etc/privman.d/appname
The application's configuration file. See privman_conf(5)BUGS
File creation may be possible without granting RW or AO access to the
file.
