NAME

6       securityfs_create_dir - create a directory in the securityfs filesystem
7

SYNOPSIS

9       struct dentry * securityfs_create_dir(const char * name,
10                                             struct dentry * parent);
11

ARGUMENTS

13       name
14           a pointer to a string containing the name of the directory to
15           create.
16
17       parent
18           a pointer to the parent dentry for this file. This should be a
19           directory dentry if set. If this parameter is NULL, then the
20           directory will be created in the root of the securityfs filesystem.
21

DESCRIPTION

23       This function creates a directory in securityfs with the given name.
24
25       This function returns a pointer to a dentry if it succeeds. This
26       pointer must be passed to the securityfs_remove function when the file
27       is to be removed (no automatic cleanup happens if your module is
28       unloaded, you are responsible here). If an error occurs, NULL will be
29       returned.
30
31       If securityfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value -ENODEV is
32       returned. It is not wise to check for this value, but rather, check for
33       NULL or !NULL instead as to eliminate the need for #ifdef in the
34       calling code.
