| audit_svcstart | Initiates an audit record for a system call. |
| audit_svcbcopy | Appends event information to the current audit event buffer. |
| audit_svcfinis | Writes an audit record for a kernel service. |
| crcopy | Creates a copy of a security credentials structure. |
| crdup | Creates a copy of the current security credentials structure. |
| credential macros | Provide a means for accessing the user and group identifier fields within a credentials structure. |
| crexport | Copies an internal format credentials structure to an external format credentials structure. |
| crfree | Frees a security credentials structure. |
| crget | Allocates a new, uninitialized security credentials structure. |
| crhold | Increments the reference count of a security credentials structure. |
| crref | Increments the reference count of the current security credentials structure. |
| crset | Replaces the current security credentials structure. |
| kcred_getcap | Copies a capability vector from a credentials structure. |
| kcred_getgroups | Copies the concurrent group set from a credentials structure. |
| kcred_getpag | Copies a process authentication group (PAG) ID from a credentials structure. |
| kcred_getpagid | Returns the process authentication group (PAG) identifier for a PAG name. |
| kcred_getpagname | Retrieves the name of a process authentication group (PAG). |
| kcred_getpriv | Copies a privilege vector from a credentials structure. |
| kcred_setcap | Copies a capabilities set into a credentials structure. |
| kcred_setgroups | Copies a concurrent group set into a credentials structure. |
| kcred_setpag | Copies a process authentication group ID into a credentials structure. |
| kcred_setpagname | Copies a process authentication group ID into a credentials structure. |
