NAME         top

       seccomp_merge - Merge two seccomp filters

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <seccomp.h>
       typedef void * scmp_filter_ctx;
       int seccomp_merge(scmp_filter_ctx dst, scmp_filter_ctx src);
       Link with -lseccomp.

DESCRIPTION         top

       The seccomp_merge() function merges the seccomp filter in src with
       the filter in dst and stores the resulting in the dst filter.  If
       successfull, the src seccomp filter is released and all internal
       memory associated with the filter is freed; there is no need to call
       seccomp_release(3) on src and the caller should discard any
       references to the filter.
       In order to merge two seccomp filters, both filters must have the
       same attribute values and no overlapping architectures.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Returns zero on success and negative values on failure.

EXAMPLES         top

       #include <seccomp.h>
       int main(int argc, char *argv[])
       {
            int rc = -1;
            scmp_filter_ctx ctx_32, ctx_64;
            ctx_32 = seccomp_init(SCMP_ACT_KILL);
            if (ctx_32 == NULL)
                 goto out_all;
            ctx_64 = seccomp_init(SCMP_ACT_KILL);
            if (ctx_64 == NULL)
                 goto out_all;
            if (seccomp_arch_exist(ctx_32, SCMP_ARCH_X86) == -EEXIST) {
                 rc = seccomp_arch_add(ctx_32, SCMP_ARCH_X86);
                 if (rc != 0)
                      goto out_all;
                 rc = seccomp_arch_remove(ctx_32, SCMP_ARCH_NATIVE);
                 if (rc != 0)
                      goto out_all;
            }
            if (seccomp_arch_exist(ctx_64, SCMP_ARCH_X86_64) == -EEXIST) {
                 rc = seccomp_arch_add(ctx_64, SCMP_ARCH_X86_64);
                 if (rc != 0)
                      goto out_all;
                 rc = seccomp_arch_remove(ctx_64, SCMP_ARCH_NATIVE);
                 if (rc != 0)
                      goto out_all;
            }
            /* ... */
            rc = seccomp_merge(ctx_64, ctx_32);
            if (rc != 0)
                 goto out_all;
            /* NOTE: the 'ctx_32' filter is no longer valid at this point */
            /* ... */
       out:
            seccomp_release(ctx_64);
            return -rc;
       out_all:
            seccomp_release(ctx_32);
            goto out;
       }

NOTES         top

       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.
       The libseccomp project site, with more information and the source
       code repository, can be found at
       https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp.  This tool, as well as the
       libseccomp library, is currently under development, please report any
       bugs at the project site or directly to the author.
