28.Dt P_CANSEE 9
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm p_cansee
32.Nd determine visibility of a process
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.In sys/param.h
35.In sys/proc.h
36.Ft int
37.Fn p_cansee "struct thread *td" "struct proc *p"
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39This function can be used to determine if a given process
40.Fa p
41is visible to the thread
42.Fa td ,
43where the notion of
44.Dq visibility
45may be read as
46.Dq "awareness of existence" .
47.Pp
48The function is implemented using
49.Xr cr_cansee 9 ,
50and the dependencies on
51.Xr sysctl 8
52variables documented in the
53.Xr cr_cansee 9
54manual page apply.
55.Sh RETURN VALUES
56The
57.Fn p_cansee
58function
59returns
60.Li 0
61if the process denoted by
62.Fa p
63is visible by thread
64.Fa td ,
65or a non-zero error return value otherwise.
66.Sh ERRORS
67.Bl -tag -width Er
68.It Bq Er ESRCH
69Process
70.Fa p
71is not visible to thread
72.Fa td
73as determined by
74.Xr cr_cansee 9 .
75.It Bq Er ESRCH
76Thread
77.Fa td
78has been jailed and process
79.Fa p
80does not belong to the same jail as
81.Fa td .
82.It Bq Er ESRCH
83The MAC subsystem denied visibility.
