p_cansee9freebsd
Determine visibility of a process
Usage
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/proc.h>
int
p_cansee(struct thread *td, struct proc *p);
Overview
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.
