process on a single machine
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The deactivates the security context for the calling process and
creates an interprocess token which, when passed to in another
process, will re-activate the context in the second process.
Only a single instantiation of a given context may be active at any
one time; a subsequent attempt by a context exporter to access the
exported security context will fail. is created such that it is func‐
tionally identical to the original context.
If creation of the interprocess token is successful, the implementation
shall deallocate all process-wide resources associated with the secu‐
rity context, and set the context_handle to The ability to transfer a
security context is indicated when the context is created, by or set‐
ting the bit in their ret_flags parameter.
Input Parameters
context_handle Specifies the context handle identifying the con‐

nism.
