.Sh NAME

.Nm suser
|

|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/ucred.h>
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn suser "struct ucred *cred, u_short *acflag"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
function checks if the credentials given include superuser powers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
routine notes the fact that superuser powers have been used in the
|
|
word pointed to by the second argument which should be a pointer to
|
|
the p_acflags word of the proc structure. If the second argument is NULL
|
|
then the usage is not noted. Because part of it's function is to notice
|
|
whether super powers have been used,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
should be called after other permission possibilities have been exhausted.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
function returns 0 if the user has super powers and EPERM otherwise.
|
|
This is the
|
|
.Em reverse logic
|
|
of some other implementations of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
in which a TRUE response indicates Super powers.
