P
is a permission list, then a UID x
matches the permission if it either appears in the list
P
, or is a member of one of the groups that appear in
P
.
An example of a permission list is
({ "frege", "dino", "$baboon" })The UIDs that match this permission list are
"frege"
,
"dino"
, and members of the group
"$baboon"
.
The following efuns work with permission lists.
int match_perm(mixed uid, string *perm)
uid
can be an object or a UID. If it is
an object, the object's EUID is used. The function returns
1
if uid
matches permission
perm
, and 0
otherwise.
