NAME
p_cansee — determine visibility of a process
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/proc.h>
int
p_cansee(struct thread *td, struct proc *p);
DESCRIPTION
This function can be used to determine if a given process p is visible to the thread td, where the notion of ’’visibility’’ may be read as ’’awareness of existence’’.
The function is implemented using cr_cansee(9), and the dependencies on sysctl(8) variables documented in the cr_cansee(9) manual page apply.
RETURN VALUES
The p_cansee() function returns 0 if the process denoted by p is visible by thread td, or a non-zero error return value otherwise.
ERRORS
[ESRCH]
Process p is not visible to thread td as determined by cr_cansee(9).
[ESRCH]
Thread td has been jailed and process p does not belong to the same jail as td.
[ESRCH]
The MAC subsystem denied visibility.
