💅 smk_tskacc_msq(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 💅

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for smk_tskacc_msq(9), bestie. This is the helper that checks whether a task can access a msg queue, and it's short — like, refreshingly short. No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

smk_tskacc_msq — helper to check if tsk has access on msq 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the whole signature is literally this:

int smk_tskacc_msq (struct task_struct *tsk , struct kern_ipc_perm *isp
, int access );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• tsk — the task that requests access 🫶
• isp — the sysv msg queue permissions 😌
• access — access requested ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the description is short and sweet: return 0 if tsk has access, error otherwise. That's the whole vibe check. If tsk has access, you get 0; if not, you get an error. periodt. 💅
