NAME

       seccomp_export_bpf, seccomp_export_pfc - Export the seccomp filter

SYNOPSIS

       #include <seccomp.h>

       typedef void * scmp_filter_ctx;

       int seccomp_export_bpf(const scmp_filter_ctx ctx, int fd);
       int seccomp_export_pfc(const scmp_filter_ctx ctx, int fd);

       Link with -lseccomp.

DESCRIPTION

       The  seccomp_export_bpf()  and  seccomp_export_pfc() functions generate and output the current seccomp filter in either BPF (Berkley Packet
       Filter) or PFC (Pseudo Filter Code).  The output of seccomp_export_bpf() is suitable for loading into the kernel, while the output of  sec-
       comp_export_pfc()  is  human  readable and is intended primarily as a debugging tool for developers using libseccomp.  Both functions write
       the filter to the fd file descriptor.

       The filter context ctx is the value returned by the call to seccomp_init(3).

       While the two output formats are guaranteed to be functionally equivalent for the given seccomp filter configuration, the  filter  instruc-
       tions, and their ordering, are not guaranteed to be the same in both the BPF and PFC formats.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns zero on success, negative errno values on failure.

EXAMPLES

       #include <seccomp.h>

       int main(int argc, char *argv[])
       {
	    int rc = -1;
	    scmp_filter_ctx ctx;
	    int filter_fd;

	    ctx = seccomp_init(SCMP_ACT_KILL);
	    if (ctx == NULL)
		 goto out;

	    /* ... */

	    filter_fd = open("/tmp/seccomp_filter.bpf", O_WRONLY);
	    if (filter_fd == -1) {
		 rc = -errno;
		 goto out;
	    }

	    rc = seccomp_export_bpf(ctx, filter_fd);
	    if (rc < 0) {
		 close(filter_fd);
		 goto out;
	    }
	    close(filter_fd);

	    /* ... */

       out:
	    seccomp_release(ctx);
	    return -rc;
       }

NOTES

       While the seccomp filter can be generated independent of the kernel, kernel support is required to load and enforce the seccomp filter gen-
       erated by libseccomp.

NAME

       seccomp_syscall_priority - Prioritize syscalls in the seccomp filter

SYNOPSIS

       #include <seccomp.h>

       typedef void * scmp_filter_ctx;

       int SCMP_SYS(syscall_name);

       int seccomp_syscall_priority(scmp_filter_ctx ctx,
				    int syscall, uint8_t priority);

       Link with -lseccomp.

DESCRIPTION

       The  seccomp_syscall_priority()	function  provides a priority hint to the seccomp filter generator in libseccomp such that higher priority
       syscalls are placed earlier in the seccomp filter code so that they incur less overhead at the  expense	of  lower  priority  syscalls.	 A
       syscall's  priority  can  be set regardless of if any rules currently exist for that syscall; the library will remember the priority and it
       will be assigned to the syscall if and when a rule for that syscall is created.

       While it is possible to specify the syscall value directly using the standard __NR_syscall values, in  order  to  ensure  proper  operation
       across multiple architectures it is highly recommended to use the SCMP_SYS() macro instead.  See the EXAMPLES section below.

       The priority parameter takes an 8-bit value ranging from 0 - 255; a higher value represents a higher priority.

       The filter context ctx is the value returned by the call to seccomp_init().

RETURN VALUE

       The  seccomp_syscall_priority()	function  returns zero on success, negative errno values on failure.  The SCMP_SYS() macro returns a value
       suitable for use as the syscall value in seccomp_syscall_priority().

EXAMPLES

       #include <seccomp.h>

       int main(int argc, char *argv[])
       {
	    int rc = -1;
	    scmp_filter_ctx ctx;

	    ctx = seccomp_init(SCMP_ACT_KILL);
	    if (ctx == NULL)
		 goto out;

	    /* ... */

	    rc = seccomp_syscall_priority(ctx, SCMP_SYS(read), 200);
	    if (rc < 0)
		 goto out;

	    /* ... */

       out:
	    seccomp_release(ctx);
	    return -rc;
       }

NOTES

       While the seccomp filter can be generated independent of the kernel, kernel support is required to load and enforce the seccomp filter gen-
       erated by libseccomp.
