AUTHOPEN(1)               BSD General Commands Manual              AUTHOPEN(1)

NAME
     authopen -- open file with authorization

SYNOPSIS
     authopen [-stdoutpipe] [-extauth] filename
     authopen [-stdoutpipe] [-extauth] -w [-a] filename
     authopen [-stdoutpipe] [-extauth] -c [-x -m mode -w] filename
     authopen [-stdoutpipe] [-extauth] -o flags filename
     authopen -h

DESCRIPTION
     authopen provides authorization-based file opening services.  In its simplest form, authopen verifies
     that it is allowed to open filename (using an appropriate sys.openfile.* authorization right) and then
     writes the file to stdout.  If -w is specified, authopen will read from stdin and write to the file.

     authopen is designed to be used both from the command line and programmatically.  The -stdoutpipe flag
     allows a parent process to receive an open file descriptor pointing to the file in question.

     Before opening filename, authopen will make an authorization request for a right of the form:

     sys.openfile.[readonly|readwrite|readwritecreate]./fully/qualified/path `.readonly' rights only allow
     for read-only file descriptors.  `.readwrite' rights allow for read/write file descriptors.
     `.readwritecreate' rights allow for read/write descriptors and the creation of new files.

     The -extauth option can be used to provide an AuthorizationRef constructed by the client.  This gener-ally generally
     ally prevents authopen from presenting an authorization dialog containing its own name.

OPTIONS
      -stdoutpipe specifies that STDOUT_FILENO has been dup2()'d onto a pipe to a parent process and that an
              open file descriptor to filename (with the appropriate access mode) should be sent back across
              it using the SCM_RIGHTS extension to sendmsg(2) rather than having the file itself written to
              or read from stdin / stdout.

      -extauth specifies that authopen should read one AuthorizationExternalForm structure from stdin, con-vert convert
              vert it to an AuthorizationRef, and attempt to use it to authorize the open(2) operation.  The
              authorization should refer to the sys.apenfile right corresponding to the requested operation.
              The authorization data will be read before any additional data supplied on stdin, and will not
              be included in data written with -w.

      -w      instructs authopen to open filename read/write and truncate it.  If -stdoutpipe has not been
              specified, authopen will then copy stdin to filename until stdin is closed.

      -a      append to filename rather than truncating it (truncating is the default).

      -c      create the file if it doesn't exist.  -m requires -c.

      -m mode specify the mode bits if a file is created.

      -o flags numerically specify the flags that should be passed to open(2).

      -x      require that the file being created not exist.

EXAMPLES
     To replace /etc/hostconfig (assuming sys.openfile.readwrite./etc/hostconfig or better can be obtained):

           $ cat tmpdata | authopen -w /etc/hostconfig

ERRORS
     authopen will fail if an appropriate sys.openfile.readonly.*, sys.openfile.readwrite.*, or
     sys.openfile.readwritecreate.* right cannot be obtained or if the named path does not exist.

BUGS
     authopen should support prefix path authentication such that the right sys.openfile.*./dev/ could give
     access to all /dev entries and sys.openfile.*./dev/disk1 could give access to all disk1-related /dev
     entries.

     authopen should use getopt(3).
