P_CANSEE(9) Kernel Developer's Manual P_CANSEE(9)

p_canseedetermine visibility of a process

int
p_cansee(struct thread *td, struct proc *p);

This function can be used to determine if a given process p is visible to the thread td, where the notion of “visibility” may be read as “awareness of existence”.

The function is implemented using cr_cansee(9), and the dependencies on sysctl(8) variables documented in the cr_cansee(9) manual page apply.

The p_cansee() function returns 0 if the process denoted by p is visible by thread td, or a non-zero error return value otherwise.

[]
Process p is not visible to thread td as determined by cr_cansee(9).
[]
Thread td has been jailed and process p does not belong to the same jail as td.
[]
The MAC subsystem denied visibility.
