security_add_hooks(9)

💖 security_add_hooks(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment, bestie 💅

okay so welcome to security_add_hooks(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual. This page is short, but it's iconic in the LSM world, no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

security_add_hooks — adds a LSM's hooks to the LSM framework's hook lists, periodt. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void security_add_hooks (struct security_hook_list *hooks , int count ,
const struct lsm_id *lsmid );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hooks — the LSM hooks to add. Your little hook delivery, bestie. 🎀
• count — the number of hooks to add. Literally how many are in the batch. 🔥
• lsmid — identification information for the LSM. It's the LSM's ID info, iykyk. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the vibe: each LSM has to register its hooks with the LSM framework. That's the requirement, bestie — not a suggestion. 🌸
