PR_SET_SECCOMP(2const) PR_SET_SECCOMP(2const)
PR_SET_SECCOMP - set the secure computing mode
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#include <linux/prctl.h> /* Definition of PR_* constants */
#include <sys/prctl.h>
[[deprecated]]
int prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, long mode, ...);
[[deprecated]]
int prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT);
[[deprecated]]
int prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER,
struct sock_fprog *filter);
Set the secure computing (seccomp) mode for the calling thread, to
limit the available system calls. The more recent seccomp(2)
system call provides a superset of the functionality of
PR_SET_SECCOMP, and is the preferred interface for new
applications.
The seccomp mode is selected via mode. The seccomp constants are
defined in <linux/seccomp.h>. The following values can be
specified:
SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT (since Linux 2.6.23)
See the description of SECCOMP_SET_MODE_STRICT in
seccomp(2).
This operation is available only if the kernel is
configured with CONFIG_SECCOMP enabled.
SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER (since Linux 3.5)
The allowed system calls are defined by a pointer to a
Berkeley Packet Filter passed in filter. It can be
designed to filter arbitrary system calls and system call
arguments. See the description of SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER
in seccomp(2).
This operation is available only if the kernel is
configured with CONFIG_SECCOMP_FILTER enabled.
On success, 0 is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is
set to indicate the error.
EACCES mode is SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER, but the process does not have
the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability or has not set the
no_new_privs attribute (see PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS(2const)).
EFAULT mode is SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER, and filter is an invalid
address.
EINVAL mode is not a valid value.
EINVAL The kernel was not configured with CONFIG_SECCOMP.
EINVAL mode is SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER, and the kernel was not
configured with CONFIG_SECCOMP_FILTER.
