.TH "REGISTER_SECURITY" "9" "09 October 2005" "" ""

.SH NAME
register_security \- registers a security framework with the kernel
.SH SYNOPSIS
"SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fB
.sp
int register_security  (struct security_operations * \fIops\fB);
\fR
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.TP
\fB\fIops\fB\fR
a pointer to the struct security_options that is to be registered
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function is to allow a security module to register itself with the
kernel security subsystem.  Some rudimentary checking is done on the \fIops\fR
value passed to this function.  A call to \fBunregister_security\fR should be
done to remove this security_options structure from the kernel.
.PP
If there is already a security module registered with the kernel,
an error will be returned.  Otherwise 0 is returned on success.
