.SH "NAME"
register_security \- registers a security framework with the kernel
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'int\ register_security('u
.BI "int register_security(struct\ security_operations\ *\ " "ops" ");"
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.PP
\fIops\fR
.RS 4
a pointer to the struct security_options that is to be registered
.RE
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function allows a security module to register itself with the kernel security subsystem\&. Some rudimentary checking is done on the
\fIops\fR
value passed to this function\&. You\*(Aqll need to check first if your LSM is allowed to register its
\fIops\fR
by calling security_module_enable(\fIops\fR)\&.
.PP
If there is already a security module registered with the kernel, an error will be returned\&. Otherwise
\fB0\fR
is returned on success\&.
