securityfs_create_dir — create a directory in the securityfs filesystem
struct dentry * securityfs_create_dir ( | const char * name, |
struct dentry * parent) ; |
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.
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, NULL
will be returned.
If securityfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value -ENODEV
is
returned. It is not wise to check for this value, but rather, check for
NULL
or !NULL
instead as to eliminate the need for #ifdef in the calling
code.
