 .Os
 .Sh NAME
 .Nm cr_seeotheruids
-.Nd determine visibility of objects given their user credentials
+.Nd whether subjects may see objects with differing user ID
 .Sh SYNOPSIS
 .Ft int
 .Fn cr_seeotheruids "struct ucred *u1" "struct ucred *u2"
 .Sh DESCRIPTION
-This function determines the visibility of objects in the
-kernel based on the real user IDs in the credentials
-.Fa u1
-and
-.Fa u2
-associated with them.
+.Bf -emphasis
+This function is internal.  Its functionality is integrated into function
+.Xr cr_bsd_visibility 9 ,
+which should be called instead.
+.Ef
 .Pp
-The visibility of objects is influenced by the
+This function checks if a subject associated to credentials
+.Fa u1
+is not denied seeing a subject or object associated to credentials
+.Fa u2
+by a policy that requires both credentials to have the same real user ID.
+.Pp
+This policy is active if and only if the
 .Xr sysctl 8
 variable
-.Va security.bsd.see_other_uids .
-If this variable is non-zero then all objects in the kernel
-are visible to each other irrespective of their user IDs.
-If this variable is zero then the object with credentials
-.Fa u2
-is visible to the object with credentials
-.Fa u1
-if either
-.Fa u1
-is the super-user credential, or if
-.Fa u1
-and
-.Fa u2
-have the same real user ID.
-.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Va security.bsd.see_other_uids
-Must be non-zero if objects with unprivileged credentials are to be
-able to see each other.
-.El
+.Va security.bsd.see_other_uids
+is non-zero.
+.Pp
+As usual, the superuser (effective user ID 0) is exempt from this policy
+provided that the
+.Xr sysctl 8
+variable
+.Va security.bsd.suser_enabled
+is non-zero and no active MAC policy explicitly denies the exemption
+.Po

+.Xr priv_check_cred 9

 .Sh RETURN VALUES
-This function returns zero if the object with credential
-.Fa u1
-can
-.Dq see
-the object with credential
-.Fa u2 ,
-or
+0 if the policy is disabled, the subject exempt from it or if both credentials
+have the same real user ID,

 otherwise.
