SECMODEL_SUSER(9)	 BSD Kernel Developer's Manual	     SECMODEL_SUSER(9)

NAME
     secmodel_suser — super-user security model

DESCRIPTION
     secmodel_suser implements the traditional super-user (root) as the user
     with effective user-id 0.	The super-user is the host administrator, con‐
     sidered to have higher privileges than other users.

FUNCTIONS
     secmodel_suser exposes a secmodel_eval(9) evaluation routine to test
     whether a set of credentials can be assimilated to super-user credentials
     or not.

     The parameters to secmodel_eval(9) are:
     id	    the unique identifier of secmodel_suser:
	    "org.netbsd.secmodel.suser"
     what   a string, "is-root".
     arg    the kauth(9) credentials (kauth_cred_t) of the caller.
     ret    a boolean, set by secmodel_suser to true when the credentials are
	    equivalent to super-user, false otherwise.

RETURN TYPES
     If successful, the evaluation returns 0 with the ret argument being
     either true or false.
