struct dentry * securityfs_create_dir(const char * name, struct dentry * parent);
ARGUMENTS¶
namea pointer to a string containing the name of the
directory to create.
parent

be a directory dentry if set. If this parameter is NULL, then the
directory will be created in the root of the securityfs filesystem.
DESCRIPTION¶
This function creates a directory in securityfs with the given name.This function returns a pointer to a dentry if it succeeds. This pointer must be passed to the securityfs_remove function when the file is to be removed (no automatic cleanup happens if your module is unloaded, you are responsible here). If an error occurs, the function will return the error value (via ERR_PTR).
If securityfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value -ENODEV is returned.
