.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.
