lsm_choose_security(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, this is lsm_choose_security — the legacy "major" LSM selection. it lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it is giving very specific old-school kernel energy. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int lsm_choose_security (char *str );

that signature is literally verbatim, no cap. ✨

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖
