Opens and closes the SMIT ACL database.
#include <usersec.h>
int setacldb(Mode) int Mode;
int endacldb;
These functions may be used to open and close access to the user SMIT ACL database. Programs that call the getusraclattr or getgrpaclattr subroutines should call the setacldb subroutine to open the database and the endacldb subroutine to close the database.
The setacldb subroutine opens the database in the specified mode, if it is not already open. The open count is increased by 1.
The endacldb subroutine decreases the open count by 1 and closes the database when this count goes to 0. Any uncommitted changed data is lost.
| Mode | Specifies the mode of the open. This parameter may contain one or more of the following values defined in the usersec.h file:
|
The setacldb and endacldb subroutines return a value of 0 to indicate success. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and the errno global variable is set to indicate the error.
The setacldb subroutine fails if the following is true:
| EACCES | Access permission is denied for the data request. |
Both subroutines return errors from other subroutines.
Security Files Accessed: The calling process must have access to the SMIT ACL data.
