priv_fopen - stream open functions for privileged files |
#include <privman.h> |
int priv_fopen(const char *path, const char *mode); |
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. |
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. |
${prefix}/etc/privman.d/appname |
The application's configuration file. See privman_conf(5) for more details. |
File creation may be possible without granting RW or AO access to the file. |
