AA_GETCON(2)							     AppArmor							      AA_GETCON(2)

NAME

       aa_getprocattr_raw, aa_getprocattr - read and parse procattr data

       aa_getcon, aa_gettaskcon - get task confinement information

       aa_getpeercon - get the confinement of a socket's other end (peer)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/apparmor.h>

       int aa_getprocattr_raw(pid_t tid, const char *attr, char *buf, int len,		       char **mode);

       int aa_getprocattr(pid_t tid, const char *attr, char **buf, char **mode);

       int aa_gettaskcon(pid_t target, char **con, char **mode);

       int aa_getcon(char **con, char **mode);

       int aa_getpeercon(int fd, char **con);

       Link with -lapparmor when compiling.

DESCRIPTION

       The aa_getcon function gets the current AppArmor confinement context for the current task.  The confinement context is usually just the
       name of the AppArmor profile restricting the task, but it may include the profile namespace or in some cases a set of profile names (known
       as a stack of profiles).  The returned string *con should be freed using free().

       The aa_gettaskcon function is like the aa_getcon function except it will work for any arbitrary task in the system.

       The aa_getpeercon function is similar to that of aa_gettaskcon except that it returns the confinement information for task on the other end
       of a socket connection.

       The aa_getprocattr function is the backend for the aa_getcon and aa_gettaskcon functions and handles the reading and parsing of the
       confinement data from different arbitrary attr files and returns the processed results in an allocated buffer.

       The aa_getprocattr_raw() is the backend for the aa_getprocattr function and does not handle buffer allocation.

RETURN VALUE

       On success size of data placed in the buffer is returned, this includes the mode if present and any terminating characters. On error, -1 is
       returned, and errno(3) is set appropriately.

ERRORS

       EINVAL
	   The apparmor kernel module is not loaded or the communication via the /proc/*/attr/file did not conform to protocol.

       ENOMEM
	   Insufficient kernel memory was available.

       EACCES
	   Access to the specified file/task was denied.

       ENOENT
	   The specified file/task does not exist or is not visible.

       ERANGE
	   The confinement data is to large to fit in the supplied buffer.

BUGS

       None known. If you find any, please report them at <http://https://bugs.launchpad.net/apparmor/+filebug>.

NAME

       aa-exec - confine a program with the specified AppArmor profile

SYNOPSIS

       aa-exec [options] [--] [<command> ...]

DESCRIPTION

       aa-exec is used to launch a program confined by the specified profile and or namespace.	If both a profile and namespace are specified
       command will be confined by profile in the new policy namespace.  If only a namespace is specified, the profile name of the current
       confinement will be used.  If neither a profile or namespace is specified command will be run using standard profile attachment (ie. as if
       run without the aa-exec command).

       If the arguments are to be pasted to the <command> being invoked by aa-exec then -- should be used to separate aa-exec arguments from the
       command.
	 aa-exec -p profile1 -- ls -l

OPTIONS aa-exec accepts the following arguments:
       -p PROFILE, --profile=PROFILE
	   confine <command> with PROFILE. If the PROFILE is not specified use the current profile name (likely unconfined).

       -n NAMESPACE, --namespace=NAMESPACE
	   use profiles in NAMESPACE.  This will result in confinement transitioning to using the new profile namespace.

       -f FILE, --file=FILE
	   a file or directory containing profiles to load before confining the program.

       -i, --immediate
	   transition to PROFILE before doing executing <command>.  This subjects the running of <command> to the exec transition rules of the
	   current profile.

       -v, --verbose
	   show commands being performed

       -d, --debug
	   show commands and error codes

       --  Signal the end of options and disables further option processing. Any arguments after the -- are treated as arguments of the command.
	   This is useful when passing arguments to the <command> being invoked by aa-exec.

BUGS

       If you find any bugs, please report them at <http://https://bugs.launchpad.net/apparmor/+filebug>.
