PRIV_FOPEN(3) Subroutines PRIV_FOPEN(3)NAMEpriv_fopen - stream open functions for privileged files
SYNOPSIS
#include <privman.h>
int priv_fopen(const char *path, const char *mode);
DESCRIPTIONpriv_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 applica‐
tion allows the access.
RETURN VALUEpriv_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.
