okay so bestie, we're in the <ugidfw.h> cinematic universe today and the main character is bsde_rule_to_string — she takes a ugidfw rule and turns it into her text representation. this is a page from the Library Functions Manual and honestly? she ate. 🎀

✨ LIBRARY ✨

File System Firewall Interface Library — that's libugidfw, and you link her with -lugidfw. slay. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ugidfw.h>

int
bsde_rule_to_string(struct mac_bsdextended_rule *rule, char *buf,
    size_t buflen);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so bsde_rule_to_string() takes a rule that's chilling in its internal representation (that's struct mac_bsdextended_rule, iykyk) and converts it into its text representation. then she writes up to buflen bytes of it into buf — and yes, that byte count includes the terminating NUL. no cap, the NUL counts. 🫶
