DESCRIPTION

32       These functions operate on contract control file  descriptors  obtained
33       from the contract(4) file system.
34
35
36       The  ct_ctl_adopt() function adopts the contract referenced by the file
37       descriptor fd. After a successful call to ct_ctl_adopt(), the  contract
38       is owned by the calling process and any events in that contract's event
39       queue are appended to the process's bundle of the appropriate type.
40
41
42       The ct_ctl_abandon() function abandons the contract referenced  by  the
43       file  descriptor  fd.  After  a successful call to ct_ctl_abandon() the
44       process no longer owns the contract, any events sent by  that  contract
45       are  automatically  removed from the process's bundle, and any critical
46       events on the contract's event queue  are  automatically  acknowledged.
47       Depending  on  its type and terms, the contract will either be orphaned
48       or destroyed.
49
50
51       The ct_ctl_ack() function acknowledges  the  critical  event  specified
52       byevid.  If  the event corresponds to an exit negotiation, ct_ctl_ack()
53       also indicates that the caller is prepared for the  system  to  proceed
54       with the referenced reconfiguration.
55
56
57       The  ct_ctl_nack() function acknowledges the critical negotiation event
58       specified by evid.  The ct_ctl_nack() function also indicates that  the
59       caller  wishes to block the proposed reconfiguration indicated by event
60       evid. Depending on the contract type, this function might require  cer‐
61       tain  privileges  to  be  asserted in the process's effective set. This
62       function will fail and return an error if the event represented by evid
63       is not a negotiation event.
64
65
66       The ct_ctl_qack() function requests a new quantum of time for the nego‐
67       tiation specified by the event ID evid.
68
69
70       The ct_ctl_newct() function instructs the  contract  specified  by  the
71       file  descriptor  fd  that when the current exit negotiation completes,
72       another contract with the terms provided by the template  specified  by
73       templatefd should be automatically written.
74

RETURN VALUES

76       Upon    successful    completion,   ct_ctl_adopt(),   ct_ctl_abandon(),
77       ct_ctl_newct(), ct_ctl_ack(), and ct_ctl_qack()  return  0.  Otherwise,
78       they return a non-zero error value.
79

ERRORS

81       The ct_ctl_adopt() function will fail if:
82
83       EBUSY     The contract is in the owned state.
84
85
86       EINVAL    The  contract  was not inherited by the caller's process con‐
87                 tract or was created by a process in a different zone.
88
89
90
91       The ct_ctl_abandon(), ct_ctl_newct(), ct_ctl_ack(), ct_ctl_nack(),  and
92       ct_ctl_qack() functions will fail if:
93
94       EBUSY    The contract does not belong to the calling process.
95
96
97
98       The ct_ctl_newct() and ct_ctl_qack() functions will fail if:
99
100       ESRCH    The event ID specified by evid does not correspond to an unac‐
101                knowledged negotiation event.
102
103
104
105       The ct_ctl_newct() function will fail if:
106
107       EINVAL    The file descriptor specified by fd was not a valid  template
108                 file descriptor.
109
110
111
112       The ct_ctl_ack() and ct_ctl_nack() functions will fail if:
113
114       ESRCH    The event ID specified by evid does not correspond to an unac‐
115                knowledged negotiation event.
116
117
118
119       The ct_ctl_nack() function will fail if:
120
121       EPERM    The calling process lacks the appropriate privileges  required
122                to block the reconfiguration.
123
124
125
126       The ct_ctl_qack() function will fail if:
127
128       ERANGE    The maximum amount of time has been requested.
