NEWNS(2) NEWNS(2)
NAME
Newns: newns, newuser - build a new name space from a
description file
SYNOPSIS
include "newns.m";
ns := load Newns Newns->PATH;
newns: fn(user: string, nsfile: string): string;
newuser: fn(user: string, cap: string, nsfile: string): string;
DESCRIPTION
Newns reads file nsfile and builds a new name space based on
the commands it contains. The file has the format defined
by namespace(6). If nsfile is nil or empty, then newns
attempts to read file the file namespace.
Newuser uses a capability cap suitable for cap(3) to change
the current process's user name to user, and uses newns and
nsfile to build it a new name space. The capability is typ-
ically obtained via factotum(4).
