NAME
seccomp_syscall_resolve_name - Resolve a syscall name
SYNOPSIS
#include <seccomp.h> int seccomp_syscall_resolve_name(const char *name); int seccomp_syscall_resolve_name_arch(uint32_t arch_token, const char *name); char *seccomp_syscall_resolve_num_arch(uint32_t arch_token, int num); Link with -lseccomp.
DESCRIPTION
The seccomp_syscall_resolve_name() and seccomp_syscall_resolve_name_arch() functions resolve the commonly used syscall name to the syscall number used by the kernel and the rest of the libseccomp API. The seccomp_syscall_resolve_num_arch() function resolves the syscall number used by the kernel to the commonly used syscall name. The caller is responsible for freeing the returned string from seccomp_syscall_resolve_num_arch().
RETURN VALUE
In the case of seccomp_syscall_resolve_name() and seccomp_syscall_resolve_name_arch() the associated syscall number is returned, with the negative pseudo syscall number being returned in cases where the given syscall does not exist for the architeture. The value __NR_SCMP_ERROR is returned in case of error. In all cases, the return value is suitable for use in any libseccomp API function which requires the syscall number, examples include seccomp_rule_add() and seccomp_rule_add_exact(). In the case of seccomp_syscall_resolve_num_arch() the associated syscall name is returned and it remains the callers responsibility to free the returned string via free(3).
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_rule_add(ctx, SCMP_ACT_ALLOW, seccomp_syscall_resolve_name("open"), 0); if (rc < 0) goto out; /* ... */ rc = seccomp_load(ctx); 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. The libseccomp project site, with more information and the source code repository, can be found at http://libseccomp.sf.net. This library is currently under development, please report any bugs at the project site or directly to the author.
