37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.In unistd.h
39.Ft int
40.Fn getloginclass "char *name" "size_t len"
41.Ft int
42.Fn setloginclass "const char *name"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Fn getloginclass
46routine returns the login class name associated with the calling process,
47as previously set by
48.Fn setloginclass .
49The caller must provide the buffer
50.Fa name
51with length
52.Fa len
53bytes to hold the result.
54The buffer should be at least
55.Dv MAXLOGNAME
56bytes in length.
57.Pp
58The
59.Fn setloginclass
60system call sets the login class of the calling process to
61.Fa name .
62This system call is restricted to the super-user, and is normally used
63only when a new session is being created on behalf of the named user
64(for example, at login time, or when a remote shell is invoked).
65Processes inherit login class from their parents.
66.Sh RETURN VALUES
67.Rv -std
68.Sh ERRORS
69The following errors may be returned by these calls:
70.Bl -tag -width Er
71.It Bq Er EFAULT
72The
73.Fa name
74argument gave an invalid address.
75.It Bq Er EINVAL
76The
77.Fa name
78argument pointed to a string that was too long.
79Login class names are limited to
80.Dv MAXLOGNAME
81(from
82.In sys/param.h )
83characters, currently 33 including null.
84.It Bq Er EPERM
85The caller tried to set the login class and was not the super-user.
86.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
87The size of the buffer is smaller than the result to be returned.
