seccomp_export_bpf(3) libseccomp Documentation seccomp_export_bpf(3)
seccomp_export_bpf, seccomp_export_pfc - Export the seccomp
filter
#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);
int seccomp_export_bpf_mem(const scmp_filter_ctx ctx, void *buf, size_t *len);
Link with -lseccomp.
The seccomp_export_bpf() and seccomp_export_pfc() functions
generate and output the current seccomp filter in either BPF
(Berkeley Packet Filter) or PFC (Pseudo Filter Code). The output
of seccomp_export_bpf() is suitable for loading into the kernel,
while the output of seccomp_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
instructions, and their ordering, are not guaranteed to be the
same in both the BPF and PFC formats.
The seccomp_export_bpf_mem() function is largely the same as
seccomp_export_bpf(), but instead of writing to a file
descriptor, the program will be written to the buf pointer
provided by the caller. The len argument must be initialized
with the size of the buf buffer. If the program was valid, len
will be updated with its size in bytes. If buf was too small to
hold the program, len can be consulted to determine the required
size. Passing a NULL buf may also be used to query the required
size ahead of time.
Return zero on success or one of the following error codes on
failure:
-ECANCELED
There was a system failure beyond the control of the
library.
-EFAULT
Internal libseccomp failure.
-EINVAL
Invalid input, either the context or architecture token is
invalid.
-ENOMEM
The library was unable to allocate enough memory.
-ERANGE
The provided buffer was too small.
If the SCMP_FLTATR_API_SYSRAWRC filter attribute is non-zero then
additional error codes may be returned to the caller; these
additional error codes are the negative errno values returned by
the system. Unfortunately libseccomp can make no guarantees
about these return values.
#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;
}
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

libseccomp library, is currently under development, please report
any bugs at the project site or directly to the author.
