siad_chk_invoker(3)siad_chk_invoker(3)NAMEsiad_chk_invoker - check invoker dependent routine for SIA (Security
Integration Architecture)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sia.h> #include <siad.h>
int siad_chk_invoker(
void );
LIBRARY
Standard C library (libc.so and libc.a)
DESCRIPTIONsiad_chk_invoker()
The siad_chk_invoker() routine is called to verify that the calling
program is sufficiently privileged to perform security checks or secu‐
rity information updates. Usually only the local security mechanism is
configured to perform this check. Although multiple mechanisms can be
utilized.
RETURN VALUES
The siad_chk_invoker() routine returns a bitmapped value which indicate
the following status: Indicates unconditional success. All bits set to
0. Indicates conditional failure. Lowest bit set to 1. If other secu‐
rity mechanism are in place, continue. Indicates unconditional fail‐
ure. Do not continue. Second lowest bit set to 1.
ERRORS
The errno values are those returned from the dynamic loader interface,
from the (siad_*) routines, or from malloc. Possible errors include
resource constraints (no memory) and various authentication failures.
