vfs_suser — check if credentials have superuser privileges for a mount point
Contents
Description
The vfs_suser() function checks if the credentials given include superuser powers for the given mount
point. It will check to see if the thread passed in has the same credentials as the user that mounted
the file system. If so, it returns 0, otherwise it returns what priv_check(9) would have returned.
History
The vfs_suser() function was introduced in FreeBSD 5.2.
Name
vfs_suser — check if credentials have superuser privileges for a mount point
Return Values
The vfs_suser() function returns 0 if the user has superuser powers and EPERM otherwise. This is the
reverselogic of some other implementations of suser() in which a TRUE response indicates superuser
powers.
