aa_current_raw_label(9)

💅 aa_current_raw_label(9)

okay so bestie, real talk — this is a kernel API manual page for aa_current_raw_label, and honestly? she's lowkey iconic. AppArmor vibes only. Let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

aa_current_raw_label — bestie's whole job is finding the current task's confining label 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct aa_label * aa_current_raw_label (void );

like, she takes nothing and gives you a struct aa_label * back. main character energy fr fr 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — no arguments, periodt. she doesn't want your input, she's booked and busy 💅

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

You get back either an up-to-date confining label or the ns unconfined label — and the manual is very clear about this, so listen up: it's NOT NULL. never. not once. not ever. NOT NULL no cap 🙈✨

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so the way that this fn works? she will not update the task's cred to the most up-to-date version of the label. that sounds like a downside but bestie it's literally the whole point — because she doesn't touch the cred, it is safe to call when inside of locks 🔒💖

that's it. that's the tea. call her from inside a lock, she won't betray you 🧚

ngl the "won't update the cred" thing is a feature, not a bug — the original page says it plainly, so don't come for me 🔥
