NAME

     cr_cansee — determine visibility of objects given their user credentials

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <sys/systm.h>
     #include <sys/ucred.h>

     int
     cr_cansee(struct ucred *u1, struct ucred *u2);

DESCRIPTION

     This function determines the visibility of objects in the kernel based on the real user IDs
     and group IDs in the credentials u1 and u2 associated with them.

     The visibility of objects is influenced by the sysctl(8) variables
     security.bsd.see_other_gids and security.bsd.see_other_uids, as per the description in
     cr_seeothergids(9) and cr_seeotheruids(9) respectively.

RETURN VALUES

     This function returns zero if the object with credential u1 can “see” the object with
     credential u2, or ESRCH otherwise.

ERRORS

     [ESRCH]            The object with credential u1 cannot “see” the object with credential u2.

     [ESRCH]            The object with credential u1 has been jailed and the object with
                        credential u2 does not belong to the same jail as u1.

     [ESRCH]            The MAC subsystem denied visibility.
