💅 has_ns_capability_noaudit(9)

okay so bestie, you're in the Kernel API Manual (the 9 section, kernel devs only, iykyk) and this page is literally about has_ns_capability_noaudit 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

has_ns_capability_noaudit — basically: does this task have a capability (unaudited, so no receipts 👀) in one specific user namespace?

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool has_ns_capability_noaudit (struct task_struct *t , struct
user_namespace *ns , int cap );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• t — the task in question, like the actual task you're checking up on 🫶
• ns — the target user namespace, aka where you're looking
• cap — the capability you wanna test for, the whole point of the vibe check

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Returns true if the specified task has the given superior capability currently in effect to the specified user namespace — and false if not. Simple as that, no cap ✨

And the noaudit part? It does not write an audit message for the check. Like, nothing gets logged, this is a whisper not an announcement 🤫

Heads up bestie: this does not set PF_SUPERPRIV on the task. So don't go assuming it does, fr fr 💀
