💅 aa_getprocattr (9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so like, welcome to aa_getprocattr from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil AppArmor helper and honestly? she's giving "small function, big main character energy" 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

aa_getprocattr — returns the label info for @label 💖 (yes that's literally the whole job, and she does it slayfully)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int aa_getprocattr (struct aa_label *label , char **string , bool
newline );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• label — the label you wanna print label info about 👑 (NOT NULL) — like, do not pass null, she will not cope 😭
• string — this one returns stuff bestie: a string containing the label info 🫶 (NOT NULL)
• newline — a bool that says whether a newline should be added ⭐ (slap a \n on it or don't, your call)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Requires: label != NULL && string != NULL — no cap, both of these need to be real or we're not doing this 🙈

Creates a string containing the label information for label. That's it, that's the vibe ✨ she builds the string, she hands it over, iconic behaviour 💅

---

💜 RETURN 💜

the size of the string placed in string 🌈 — otherwise an error code on failure 💀 (so like, check it, bestie)
