The libsecpol API (secpol.h)

QNX SDP8.0QNX OS System Security GuideAPIConfiguration

The libsecpol library API provides functions for systems that use security policies.

You can use the libsecpol functions to perform the following tasks:
  • Easily reduce privileges after initialization.
  • Spawn child processes with reduced privileges.
  • Perform fine-grained permission checking.
  • Translate type names to type IDs and vice versa.

You can easily design a program that uses libsecpol to work both with and without security policies.
