cipso_v4_getattr(9)

🌸 cipso_v4_getattr — the Kernel API Manual era 💅

okay bestie, so you know how there's a whole squad of cipso_v4_*_getattr functions out there doing their thing? yeah. this one is their helper. their little ride-or-die. their emotional support function, if you will. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int cipso_v4_getattr (const unsigned char *cipso , struct
       netlbl_lsm_secattr *secattr );

like, look at that signature. it's giving "i know exactly what i'm doing." no cap. 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cipso — the CIPSO v4 option 👑 this is the thing we're inspecting, bestie. show it some respect.
• secattr — the security attributes 🌸 this is where the good stuff gets written. the destination. the moment.

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the vibe: cipso_v4_getattr looks at cipso and drops the security attributes into secattr. that's literally it. that's the whole job. main character energy, minimal effort, maximum payoff. ✨

and the return values? oh you know we're doing the classic kernel thing:

• returns zero on success 🎉 (slay)
• returns negative values on failure 😭 (we don't talk about it)

periodt. that's the contract. don't come for me, come for the manpage.
