NAME

priv_fopen - stream open functions for privileged files

SYNOPSIS

#include <privman.h>
int priv_fopen(const char *path, const char *mode);

DESCRIPTION

priv_fopen opens the file whose name is the string pointed to by path and associates a stream with it. The stream can then be used by fread, fwrite, and other such function calls. priv_fopen takes the same mode strings as fopen(3).
priv_fopen will only succeed if the configuration file for the application allows the access.

RETURN VALUE

priv_fopen returns the new file stream, or NULL if an error occurred (in which case, errno is set appropriately). See fopen(3) for more details, as this method parallels it.

FILES

${prefix}/etc/privman.d/appname
The application's configuration file. See privman_conf(5) for more details.

BUGS

File creation may be possible without granting RW or AO access to the file.
