38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39.Fn priv_set
40is a convenient wrapper for the
41.Xr setppriv 2
42function.
43It takes three or more arguments.
44The operation argument,
45.Ar op ,
46can be one of
47.Dv PRIV_OFF , PRIV_ON
48or
49.Dv PRIV_SET .
50The
51.Ar which
52argument is the name of the privilege set to change, one of
53.Dv PRIV_EFFECTIVE , PRIV_INHERITABLE , PRIV_PERMITTED , PRIV_LIMIT
54or the special pseudo set
55.Dv PRIV_ALLSETS
56if the operation should be applied to all privilege sets.
57Subsequent arguments provide zero or more privilege names, terminated with a
58.Dv NULL
59pointer.
60See
61.Sx EXAMPLES .
62.Pp
63The specified privileges are converted to a binary privilege set and
64.Xr setppriv 2
65is called with the same
66.Ar op
67and
68.Ar which
69arguments.
70When called with
71.Dv PRIV_ALLSETS
72as the value for the
73.Ar which
74argument,
75.Xr setppriv 2
76is called for each set in turn, aborting on the first failed call.
77.Pp
78.Fn priv_ineffect
79is a convenient wrapper for the
80.Xr getppriv 2
81function.
82The
83.Ar priv
84argument specifies the name of a privilege, and this function checks for its
85presence in the effective set.
86.Sh RETURN VALUES
87Upon successful completion,
88.Fn priv_set
89return 0.
90Otherwise, -1  is returned and
91.Dv errno
92is set to indicate the error.
93.Pp
94If
95.Ar priv
96is a valid privilege that is a member of the effective set,
97.Fn priv_ineffect
98returns
99.Dv B_TRUE .
100Otherwise, it returns
101.Dv B_FALSE
102and sets
103.Dv errno
104to indicate the error.
