Description

On Windows platforms, it represents a pointer to SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES. The user is responsible for allocating and reclaiming resources associated with the pointer, permissions instance does not own them.

On POSIX platforms, it represents a mode_t value.

permissions public construct/copy/destruct

  1. permissions() noexcept;

    Default constructor. The method constructs an object that represents a null SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES pointer on Windows platforms, and a mode_t value 0644 on POSIX platforms.

  2. permissions(permissions const & that) noexcept;

    Copy constructor.

  3. permissions(native_type perms) noexcept;

    Initializing constructor.

  4. permissions(boost::interprocess::permissions const & perms) noexcept;

    Initializing constructor.

  5. permissions(permissions && that) noexcept;

    Move constructor.

  6. permissions & operator=(permissions const & that) noexcept;

    Copy assignment.

  7. permissions & operator=(permissions && that) noexcept;

    Move assignment.

permissions public member functions

  1. void set_native(native_type perms) noexcept;

    Sets permissions from the OS-specific permissions.

  2. native_type get_native() const noexcept;

    Returns the underlying OS-specific permissions.

  3. void set_default() noexcept;

    Sets the default permissions, which are equivalent to NULL SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES on Windows and 0644 on POSIX platforms.

  4. void set_unrestricted();

    Sets unrestricted permissions, which are equivalent to SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES with NULL DACL on Windows and 0666 on POSIX platforms.

  5. void swap(permissions & that) noexcept;

    The method swaps the object with that.

    Parameters:

    that

    The other object to swap with.

permissions friend functions

  1. friend void swap(permissions & a, permissions & b) noexcept;
    Swaps the two permissions objects.
