revoke (7) ( Linux man: Макропакеты и соглашения )
BSD mandoc
NAME
revoke
- revoke file access
LIBRARY
Lb libc
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h> int
revoke (const char *path);
DESCRIPTION
The
revoke ();
system call invalidates all current open file descriptors in the system
for the file named by
Fa path .
Subsequent operations on any such descriptors
fail, with the exceptions that a
read ();
from a character device file which has been revoked
returns a count of zero (end of file),
and a
close ();
system call will succeed.
If the file is a special file for a device which is open,
the device close function
is called as if all open references to the file had been closed.
Access to a file may be revoked only by its owner or the super user.
The
revoke ();
system call is currently supported only for block and character special
device files.
It is normally used to prepare a terminal device for a new login session,
preventing any access by a previous user of the terminal.
RETURN VALUES
Rv -std revoke
