NAME

register_security - registers a security framework with the kernel  

SYNOPSIS

int register_security (struct security_operations * ops);  

ARGUMENTS

ops
a pointer to the struct security_options that is to be registered
 

DESCRIPTION

This function is to allow a security module to register itself with the kernel security subsystem. Some rudimentary checking is done on the ops value passed to this function. A call to unregister_security should be done to remove this security_options structure from the kernel.

If the ops structure does not contain function pointers for all hooks in the structure, or there is already a security module registered with the kernel, an error will be returned. Otherwise 0 is returned on success.
