NAME

au_bsm_to_fcntl_cmd, au_fcntl_cmd_to_bsm — convert between BSM and local fcntl(2) command values

LIBRARY

Basic Security Module Library (libbsm, -lbsm)

SYNOPSIS (NOW DEPRECATED)

<bsm/libbsm.h> int au_bsm_to_fcntl_cmd(u_short bsm_fcntl_cmd, int *local_fcntl_cmdp) u_short au_fcntl_cmd_to_bsm(int local_fcntl_cmd)

DESCRIPTION

These interfaces may be used to convert between the local and BSM fcntl(2) command values. The au_bsm_to_fcntl_cmd() function accepts a BSM command value, bsm_fcntl_cmd, and converts it to a local command value passed to fcntl(2), that will be stored in the integer pointed to by local_fcntl_cmdp if successful. This call will fail if the BSM command value cannot be mapped into a local fcntl(2) command value which may occur if the command token was generated on another operating system.

The au_fcntl_cmd_to_bsm() function accepts a local fcntl(2) command value, and returns the BSM fcntl(2) command value for it. This call cannot fail, and instead returns a BSM command value indicating to a later decoder that the command value could not be encoded.

RETURN VALULES

On success, au_bsm_to_fcntl_cmd() returns 0 and a converted command value; on failure, it returns -1 but does not set errno(2).
