34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.In unistd.h
36.Ft int
37.Fn getloginclass "char *name" "size_t len"
38.Ft int
39.Fn setloginclass "const char *name"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Fn getloginclass
43routine returns the login class name associated with the calling process,
44as previously set by
45.Fn setloginclass .
46The caller must provide the buffer
47.Fa name
48with length
49.Fa len
50bytes to hold the result.
51The buffer should be at least
52.Dv MAXLOGNAME
53bytes in length.
54.Pp
55The
56.Fn setloginclass
57system call sets the login class of the calling process to
58.Fa name .
59This system call is restricted to the super-user, and is normally used
60only when a new session is being created on behalf of the named user
61(for example, at login time, or when a remote shell is invoked).
62Processes inherit login class from their parents.
63.Sh RETURN VALUES
64.Rv -std
65.Sh ERRORS
66The following errors may be returned by these calls:
67.Bl -tag -width Er
68.It Bq Er EFAULT
69The
70.Fa name
71argument gave an invalid address.
72.It Bq Er EINVAL
73The
74.Fa name
75argument pointed to a string that was too long.
76Login class names are limited to
77.Dv MAXLOGNAME
78(from
79.In sys/param.h )
80characters, currently 33 including null.
81.It Bq Er EPERM
82The caller tried to set the login class and was not the super-user.
83.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
84The size of the buffer is smaller than the result to be returned.
