[PATCH v2 4/6] Add API to get the system identity

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>

If no user identity is available, some operations may wish to
use the system identity. ie the identity of the current process
itself. Add an API to get such an identity.
