.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
family of functions is used to manage user credential structures
|
|
.Pq Vt "struct ucred"
|
|
within the kernel.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn crget
|
|
function allocates memory
|
|
for a new structure, sets its reference count to 1, and
|
|
initializes its lock.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn crhold
|
|
function increases the reference count on the credential.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn crfree
|
|
function decreases the reference count on the credential.
|
|
If the count drops to 0, the storage for the structure is freed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn crcopy
|
|
function calls
|
|
.Fn crdup
|
|
to create a new structure, and copies the old credentials,
|
|
if the reference count is greater than 1;
|
|
otherwise, the original is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn crdup
|
|
function allocates memory for a new structure,
|
|
copies the contents of the original structure
|
|
into it, references the
|
|
.Va cr_uidinfo
|
|
and
|
|
.Va cr_ruidinfo
|
|
fields, sets the reference count
|
|
to 1, and then returns the new structure.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The functions that return values all return a pointer to a
|
|
.Vt ucred
|
|
structure.
|
|
In the case of
|
|
.Fn crcopy ,
|
|
the return value may be the same structure you passed to it.
