sia_chdir(3)							  sia_chdir(3)

NAME
       sia_chdir - Interface to the chdir system call - SIA (Security Integra‐
       tion Architecture)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <siad.h>

       int sia_chdir(
	       const char * directory,
	       time_t timelimit );

LIBRARY
       Standard C library (libc.so and libc.a)

PARAMETERS
       The specified new working directory. The parameter  must	 be  an	 ASCII
       string. If it is a NULL, SIAFAIL is returned.  The number of seconds to
       allow for the chdir() call. If a 0 is specified, there is  no  timeout.
       If the value is less than 0, SIA_DEF_TIMEOUT is used.

DESCRIPTION
       The  sia_chdir() routine implements a "NFS-safe" way to change the cur‐
       rent working directory. This routine  calls  the	 chdir()  system  call
       which  is protected by alarm() and signal-handling for SIGALRM, SIGHUP,
       SIGINT, SIGQUIT, and SIGTERM. Receipt of any of	these  signals	causes
       the chdir() operation to fail. If the chdir() call completes within the
       time limit given, the call succeeds.

RETURN VALUES
       The sia_chdir() routine returns SIASUCCESS or SIAFAIL.

ERRORS
       The errno value is not (normally) set explicitly by sia_* routines. The
       errno values are those returned from the dynamic loader interface, from
       dependent (siad_*) routines, or from malloc.  Possible  errors  include
       resource constraints (no memory) and various authentication failures.

FILES
       /etc/passwd

       /etc/sia/matrix.conf
