NAME         top

       io_uring_register_personality - register credentials with io_uring

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <liburing.h>

       int io_uring_register_personality(struct io_uring *ring);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The io_uring_register_personality(3) function registers the
       credentials of the calling application with the io_uring instance
       specified by ring.  This allows a ring to be shared between
       separate users or processes while maintaining credential
       separation.

       The returned personality ID can be used in the personality field
       of a submission queue entry to execute that request with the
       registered credentials.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Returns a positive personality ID on success that can be used in
       future operations. On error, a negative errno value is returned.
