pm_is_super_user(3K) — DG/UX R4.11



pm_is_super_user(3K)              SDK R4.11             pm_is_super_user(3K)


NAME
       pmissuperuser - determine whether calling process has an effective
       uid of 0.

SYNOPSIS
       #include "/usr/src/uts/aviion/ii/ipm.h"

       booleantype    pmissuperuser ()

DESCRIPTION
       This routine determines whether the calling process has an effective
       uid of 0, which on a traditional DG/UX system is superuser.  If so,
       it notifies the kernel that the process has used superuser permission
       so it can be recorded for accounting information.

       NOTE: The pm_is_super_user.3k routine might not produce the desired
       effect on a system with DG/UX information security, because the
       routine does not check for appropriate privilege; rather, it checks
       only to see whether the caller's effective uid is 0.

DIAGNOSTICS
   Return Value
       TRUE   Caller has an effective uid of 0.

       FALSE  Caller does not have an effective uid of 0.

   Errors
       None.

   Abort Conditions
       None.
