seccomp_...ion_start(3) libseccomp Documentation seccomp_...ion_start(3)
seccomp_transaction_start, seccomp_transaction_commit,
seccomp_transaction_reject - Manage seccomp filter transactions
#include <seccomp.h>
typedef void * scmp_filter_ctx;
int seccomp_transaction_start(scmp_filter_ctx ctx);
int seccomp_transaction_commit(scmp_filter_ctx ctx);
void seccomp_transaction_reject(scmp_filter_ctx ctx);
Link with -lseccomp.
The seccomp_transaction_start() function starts a new seccomp
filter transaction that the caller can use to perform any number
of filter modifications which can then be committed to the filter
using seccomp_transaction_commit() or rejected using
seccomp_transaction_reject(). It is important to note that
transactions only affect the seccomp filter state while it is
being managed by libseccomp; seccomp filters which have been
loaded into the kernel can not be modified, only new seccomp
filters can be added on top of the existing loaded filter stack.
Finishing, or committing, a transaction is optional, although it
is encouraged. At any point in time, regardless of the
transaction state, the seccomp filter is determined by all of the
libseccomp operations performed on the filter up to that point.
Committing a transaction simply flushes the transaction rollback
marker of the current transaction making the filter changes
permanent; rejecting a transaction rolls the filter state back to
immediately before the transaction was started.
Transactions can be nested arbitrarily deep with the
seccomp_transaction_commit() and seccomp_transaction_reject()
functions always operating on the deepest, or more recently
started transaction. A nested set of filter modifications, even
if committed, is still subject to rejection by shallower, or older
transactions that have yet to be committed or rejected.
The seccomp_transaction_start() and seccomp_transaction_commit()
functions return zero on success or one of the following error
codes on failure:
-ENOMEM
The library was unable to allocate enough memory.
#include <seccomp.h>
int libseccomp_generate(scmp_filter_ctx *ctx)
{
int rc;
rc = seccomp_rule_add(ctx, SCMP_ACT_ALLOW, SCMP_SYS(close), 0);
if (rc)
return rc;
rc = seccomp_rule_add(ctx, SCMP_ACT_ALLOW, SCMP_SYS(exit_group), 0);
if (rc)
return rc;
rc = seccomp_rule_add(ctx, SCMP_ACT_ALLOW, SCMP_SYS(exit), 0);
if (rc)
return rc;
return 0;
}
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_transaction_start(ctx)
if (rc)
goto out;
rc = libseccomp_generate(ctx);
if (rc == 0) {
rc = seccomp_transaction_commit(ctx);
if (rc)
goto out;
} else
seccomp_transaction_reject(ctx);
/* ... */
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.
