SecHostSetGuestStatus

Updates the status and attributes of a particular guest.

Declaration

OSStatus SecHostSetGuestStatus(SecGuestRef guestRef, uint32_t status, CFDictionaryRef attributes, SecCSFlags flags);

Parameters

  • guestRef:

    The guest code object of the code on whose behalf this thread is acting.

  • status:

    A new set of code status flags for the guest (see Seccodestatus. The host must enforce the restrictions on changes to guest status: the Valid bit can only be cleared and the Hard and Kill flags can only be set. Pass the previous guest status to indicate that no change is desired.

  • attributes:

    A key-value dictionary of attributes that can be used to identify this particular guest among all of the caller’s guests. If you include this dictionary, it completely replaces earlier-specified attributes. Pass NULL for this parameter if you do not want to change the attributes for this guest. Although you can specify any key-value pairs in this attributes dictionary, the keys in Guest Attribute Dictionary Keys are conventionally used for this purpose.

  • flags:

    Optional flags; see Seccsflags for possible values. Pass kSecCSDefaultFlags for standard behavior.

Return Value

A result code. See Code Signing Services Result Codes.

Discussion

This function must be called by a host acting in proxy mode every time the status of a guest changes so that Code Signing Services can update the information cache for that guest. The specified guest must have been created using the SecHostCreateGuest function.
