container_create

Creates a new container.

Signature

Status container_create(
	Capref	cont )

Arguments

cont - Specifies a capref to which a capability for the new container will be bound.

Semantics

This call is used to create a new container. If successful, the capref specified by cont references a capability bound to the master permission group for the new container. This permission group has all of the rights enabled. The new container will not have a manager or an invocation point. No mappings will be defined for the container.

Status

Fails if cont is an invalid capref.

Fails if a new container cannot be created.

Warnings

A newly created container has no manager and no invocation point. Therefore, any attempt to address data within the container or to invoke the container will result in an exception.
