securityfs_create_dir: create a directory in the securityfs filesystem

Command to display securityfs_create_dir manual in Linux: $ man 9 securityfs_create_dir

NAME

securityfs_create_dir - create a directory in the securityfs filesystem

SYNOPSIS

struct dentry * securityfs_create_dir(const char * name, struct dentry * parent);

ARGUMENTS

name

: a pointer to a string containing the name of the directory to create.

parent

: a pointer to the parent dentry for this file. This should be a directory dentry if set. If this parameter is NULL, then the directory will be created in the root of the securityfs filesystem.

DESCRIPTION

This function creates a directory in securityfs with the given name.

This function returns a pointer to a dentry if it succeeds. This pointer must be passed to the securityfs_remove function when the file is to be removed (no automatic cleanup happens if your module is unloaded, you are responsible here). If an error occurs, the function will return the error value (via ERR_PTR).

If securityfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value -ENODEV is returned.
