## Name

register_security — registers a security framework with the kernel

## Synopsis

`int register_security (` | struct security_operations * ops`)`;

## Arguments

`ops`

  a pointer to the struct security_options that is to be registered

## Description

This function allows a security module to register itself with the kernel security subsystem. Some rudimentary checking is done on the `ops` value passed to this function. You'll need to check first if your LSM is allowed to register its `ops` by calling security_module_enable(`ops`).

If there is already a security module registered with the kernel, an error will be returned. Otherwise `0` is returned on success.
