host_security_create_task_token
Function - Create a new task with an explicit security token.
SYNOPSIS
kern_return_t host_security_create_task_token
(host_security_t host_security,
task_t parent_task,
security_token_t security_token,
audit_token_t audit_token,
ledger_port_array_t ledgers,
boolean_t inherit_memory,
task_t child_task);
PARAMETERS
- host_security
-
[in security send right] The host's security port.
- parent_task
-
[in task send right] The port for the task from which to draw the child
task's port rights and address space.
- security_token
-
[in scalar] The task's security token.
- audit_token
-
[in scalar] The task's audit token.
- ledgers
-
[pointer to in array of ledger send rights] The set of ledgers from which the
task will draw its resources.
- inherit_memory
-
[in scalar] Address space inheritance indicator. If true, the child task in-
herits the address space of the parent task. If false, the kernel assigns
the child task an empty address space.
- child_task
-
[out task send right] The kernel-assigned port name for the new task.
DESCRIPTION
The host_security_create_task_token function creates a new task from
parent_task with explicit security and audit token values, returning the name of the
new task in the parameter specified by child_task. Other than the security and audit token values, the child task
is as if created by task_create.
NOTES
The host security port is a privileged port given to the system
bootstrap task for the use of this call.
RETURN VALUES
- KERN_INVALID_SECURITY
-
The value of host_security does not specify the security port for the host on which task lies.
