set_pag or set_pag64 Kernel Service

Purpose

Sets a Process Authentication Group (PAG) value for the current process.

Syntax

#include <sys/cred.h>

int set_pag ( type, pag )
int type;
int pag;

int set_pag64 ( type, pag )
int type;
uint64_t *pag;

Parameters

Description

The set_pag or set_pag64 kernel service copies the requested PAG for the current process. The caller must synchronize the set_pag and set_pag64 kernel services with validate_pag because set_pag and set_pag64 do not lock process creation across the system. The value of type must be a defined PAG ID. The PAG ID for the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) is 0.

Execution Environment

The set_pag and set_pag64 kernel services can be called from the process environment only.

Return Values

A value of 0 is returned upon successful completion. Upon failure, a -1 is returned and errno is set to a value that explains the error.

Error Codes

The set_pag and set_pag64 kernel services fails if one or both of the following conditions are true:
