Hello Russ,
In the current development version, OpenAFS has added a new pioctl
that's
used to retrieve the current PAG (if any). This 'C' pioctl 13, or
_AFSCIOCTL(13) in the Heimdal kafs parlance. It returns the current
PAG
number or 0xffffffff (NOPAG) if the process is not in a PAG.
I would like to add this to the libkopenafs library so that it can
be used
by PAM modules. (It's useful for an AFS PAM module to support the
operation of "put this process in a PAG if it isn't already in a
PAG, but
don't leave the current PAG if it exists.") However, the intention
of the
libkopenafs interface is that it remain API-compatible with the
Heimdal
libkafs interface. We intend to add the additional functions,
including
the token manipulation functions, down the road.
So, I'd like to propose the following interface and get any feedback
if
the Heimdal community sees a problem with it.
I don't see any problems, however, I want to ask a question.
That do you plan to do with the value you get back ? From your problem
description this api would also solve your problem description.
int k_haspag(void); /* k_isinpag() ? */
Love
