security_bpf_prog_free(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 security_bpf_prog_free(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense 🎀

Okay bestie, gather round, because this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (security_bpf_prog_free(9)) and it's honestly shorter than my attention span, so we're gonna get through it together, iykyk. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

security_bpf_prog_free — frees a BPF program's LSM blob. That's it. That's the whole job. She's a one-task icon and she ate. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void security_bpf_prog_free (struct bpf_prog *prog );

Not me copying that verbatim with the little space before the paren, because yes, we keep it exactly like that. 💅

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • prog — the BPF program struct. Like, the actual struct bpf_prog * we're cleaning up after. That's the one. That's the girl. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So the vibe here is: clean up the security information stored inside the BPF program. 🧹🌸

That's the whole description, bestie — no plot twist, no secret second paragraph. It tidies up the security info living inside that BPF program, and then it's done. Iconic minimalism, lowkey. ⭐

No, there are no extra notes, no return value, no error codes on this page. If you were waiting for a dramatic twist, this page said "not today." 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Alright, this is the part where the page goes absolutely feral, because the SEE ALSO section is huge and we are NOT skipping a single one of these, fr fr. First up, the kernel file: ./security/security.c 👑

The allocator besties:

The binder + ptrace + capability girlies:

The bprm + fs context + superblock crew:

The path + inode situation (this one is a marathon, hydrate first 🍓):

The file crew:

Task + cred besties:

IPC girlies:

Dentry + attr + secctx and friends:

Networking era 🌐:

Infiniband + xfrm + keys + audit:

And the BPF clique (the main character's own friend group 💜):

Plus the rest of the extended universe:

Phew. Every single one of them. Not one skipped, bestie. 🫡

🌟 That's the whole page! Genuinely one of the shortest manpages I've ever read and honestly? Respect. Short, sweet, frees the LSM blob, leaves. Main character energy. 💅

And that's a wrap, babes — this little number comes to you from the source ./security, dated October 2026, and it is, as ever, security_bpf_prog_free(9). See you in the next manpage, mwah. 😘🎀🦋
