spares (the size of the field was changed from u_short to u_int to reflect what it really ends up being). Accordingly, change users of xucred to set and check this field as appropriate. In the kernel, this is being done inside the new cru2x() routine which takes a `struct ucred' and fills out a `struct xucred' according to the former. This also has the pleasant sideaffect of removing some duplicate code. Reviewed by: rwatson

.Dt GETPEEREID 3
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm getpeereid
|
|
.Nd get the effective credentials of a UNIX-domain peer
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In unistd.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn getpeereid "int s" "uid_t *euid" "gid_t *egid"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getpeereid
|
|
function returns the effective user and group IDs of the
|
|
peer connected to a
|
|
.Ux Ns -domain
|
|
socket.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa s
|
|
must be a
|
|
.Ux Ns -domain
|
|
socket
|
|
.Pq Xr unix 4
|
|
of type
|
|
.Dv SOCK_STREAM
|
|
on which either
|
|
.Xr connect 2
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr listen 2
|
|
have been called.
|
|
The effective used ID is placed in
|
|
.Fa euid ,
|
|
and the effective group ID in
|
|
.Fa egid .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The credentials returned to the
|
|
.Xr listen 2
|
|
caller are those of its peer at the time it called
|
|
.Xr connect 2 ;
|
|
the credentials returned to the
|
|
.Xr connect 2
|
|
caller are those of its peer at the time it called
|
|
.Xr listen 2 .
|
|
This mechanism is reliable; there is no way for either side to influence
|
|
the credentials returned to its peer except by calling the appropriate
|
|
system call (i.e., either
|
|
.Xr connect 2
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr listen 2 )
|
|
under different effective credentials.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
One common use of this routine is for a
|
|
.Ux Ns -domain
|
|
server
|
|
to verify the credentials of its client.
|
|
Likewise, the client can verify the credentials of the server.
