NAME sec_acl_test_access - Tests access to an object SYNOPSIS #include <dce/daclif.h> boolean32 sec_acl_test_access( sec_acl_handle_t h, uuid_t *manager_type, sec_acl_permset_t desired_permset, error_status_t *status); PARAMETERS Input h A handle referring to the target object. Use sec_acl_bind() to create this handle. manager_type A pointer to the UUID identifying the type of the ACL manager in question. There may be more than one type of ACL manager protecting the object whose ACL is bound to the input handle. Use this parameter to distinguish them. Use sec_acl_get_manager_types() to acquire a list of the manager types protecting a given object. desired_permset A permission set in sec_acl_permset_t form containing the desired privileges. This is a 32-bit set of permission flags supported by the manager type. Output status A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error. DESCRIPTION The sec_acl_test_access() routine determines if the specified ACL contains entries granting privileges to the calling process matching those in desired_permset. An application generally only inquires after the minimum set of privileges needed to accomplish a specific task. Permissions Required The sec_acl_test_access() routine requires at least one permission of any kind on the object for which the privileges are to be tested. FILES SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]DACLIF.IDL The idl file from which dce/daclif.h was derived. RETURN VALUES The routine returns TRUE if the calling application program is authorized to access the target object with the privileges in desired_permset. ERRORS sec_acl_unknown_manager_type The manager type selected is not an available option. error_status_ok The call was successful.
