__builtin.security.Creds

Module __builtin.security

Description

Pike has an optional internal security system, which can be enabled with the configure-option --with-security.

The security system is based on attaching credential objects (__builtin.security.Creds) to objects, programs, arrays, mappings or multisets.

A credential object in essence holds three values:

user -- The owner.

allow_bits -- Run-time access permissions.

data_bits -- Data access permissions.

The following security bits are currently defined:

BIT_INDEX Allow indexing. BIT_SET_INDEX Allow setting of indices. BIT_CALL Allow calling of functions. BIT_SECURITY Allow usage of security related functions. BIT_NOT_SETUID Don't change active credentials on function call. BIT_CONDITIONAL_IO ?? BIT_DESTRUCT Allow use of destruct.
