Rights are associated with handles and convey privileges to perform actions on either the associated handle or the object associated with the handle.
The <zircon/rights.h> header defines
default rights for each object type, which can be reduced via
zx_handle_replace() or zx_handle_duplicate().
| Right | Conferred Privileges |
|---|---|
| ZX_RIGHT_DUPLICATE | Allows handle duplication via zx_handle_duplicate |
| ZX_RIGHT_TRANSFER | Allows handle transfer via zx_channel_write |
| ZX_RIGHT_READ | Allows inspection of object state |
| Allows reading of data from containers (channels, sockets, VM objects, etc) | |
| ZX_RIGHT_WRITE | Allows modification of object state |
| Allows writing of data to containers (channels, sockets, VM objects, etc) | |
| ZX_RIGHT_EXECUTE | |
| ZX_RIGHT_DEBUG | Placeholder for debugger use, pending audit of all rights usage |
