__security_read_policy(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the __security_read_policy(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — and it's literally about one thing: __security_read_policy — read the policy 🫶✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int __security_read_policy (struct selinux_policy *policy , void *data ,
       size_t *len );

that's the whole call, no cap. it hands back an int, and it takes the three args below 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• policy — SELinux policy 👑
• data — binary policy data 🧚
• len — length of data in bytes 📏

this page is short and sweet, bestie — those three are the whole vibe check. no extra lore, no invented defaults, periodt.
