       siad_chk_invoker - check invoker dependent routine for SIA
       (Security Integration Architecture)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

   siad_chk_invoker()
       The siad_chk_invoker() routine is called  to  verify  that
       the  calling program is sufficiently privileged to perform
       security checks or security information  updates.  Usually
       only  the  local security mechanism is configured to  perform
 this check.  Although multiple mechanisms can be utilized.

       which indicate the following  status:  Indicates  unconditional
  success. All bits set to 0.  Indicates conditional
       failure. Lowest bit set to 1. If other security  mechanism
       are  in place, continue.  Indicates unconditional failure.
       Do not continue. Second lowest bit set to 1.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The errno values  are  those  returned  from  the  dynamic
