PRIV_FOPEN(3)                     Subroutines                    PRIV_FOPEN(3)


NAME

       priv_fopen - stream open functions for privileged files


SYNOPSIS

       #include <privman.h>

       int priv_fopen(const char *path, const char *mode);


DESCRIPTION

       priv_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
       application allows the access.


RETURN VALUE

       priv_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.
