seccomp_api_get, seccomp_api_set - Manage the libseccomp API level
#include <seccomp.h>
const unsigned int seccomp_api_get(void);
int seccomp_api_set(unsigned int level);
Link with -lseccomp.
The seccomp_api_get() function returns an integer representing the
functionality ("API level") provided by the current running kernel.
It is important to note that while seccomp_api_get() can be called
multiple times, the kernel is only probed the first time to see what
functionality is supported, all following calls to seccomp_api_get()
return a cached value.
The seccomp_api_set() function allows callers to force the API level
to the provided value; however, this is almost always a bad idea and
use of this function is strongly discouraged.
The different API level values are described below:
0 Reserved value, not currently used.
1 Base level support.
2 The SCMP_FLTATR_CTL_TSYNC filter attribute is supported and
libseccomp uses the seccomp(2) syscall to load the seccomp
filter into the kernel.
3 The SCMP_FLTATR_CTL_LOG filter attribute and the SCMP_ACT_LOG
action are supported.
4 The SCMP_FLTATR_CTL_SSB filter attribute is supported.
5 The SCMP_ACT_NOTIFY action and the notify APIs are supported.
5 The simultaneous use of SCMP_FLTATR_CTL_TSYNC and the notify
APIs are supported.
The seccomp_api_get() function returns an integer representing the
supported API level. The seccomp_api_set() function returns zero on
success, negative values on failure.
#include <seccomp.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
unsigned int api;
api = seccomp_api_get();
switch (api) {
case 2:
/* ... */
default:
/* ... */
}
return 0;
err:
return -1;
}
While the seccomp filter can be generated independent of the kernel,
kernel support is required to load and enforce the seccomp filter
generated by libseccomp.
