36*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributions<dt><var>ledgers</var>
37*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributions<dd>
38*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributions[pointer to in array of ledger send rights] The set of ledgers from which the

42*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributions<dd>
43*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributions[in scalar] Address space inheritance indicator. If true, the child task in-
44*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributionsherits the address space of the parent task. If false, the kernel assigns

51*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
52*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributions<p>
53*27b03b36SApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong><strong>host_security_create_task_token</strong> function creates a new task from
54*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributions<var>parent_task</var> with explicit security and audit token values, returning the name of the
55*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributionsnew task in the parameter specified by <var>child_task</var>. Other than the security and audit token values, the child task
56*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributionsis as if created by <strong>task_create</strong>.
57*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributions<h3>NOTES</h3>
58*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributions<p>
59*27b03b36SApple OSS DistributionsThe host security port is a privileged port given to the system
60*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributionsbootstrap task for the use of this call.
61*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
62*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributions<dl>
63*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributions<p>
64*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributions<dt> <strong>KERN_INVALID_SECURITY</strong>
65*27b03b36SApple OSS Distributions<dd>
66*27b03b36SApple OSS DistributionsThe value of <var>host_security</var> does not specify the security port for the host on which task lies.
