security_ino...eate_tmpfile(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to security_ino...eate_tmpfile(9), straight outta the Kernel API Manual ✨ the function is security_inode_post_create_tmpfile, and its whole assignment is updating the inode security of a new tmpfile. that's the name, that's the vibe, that's the moment. πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the exact signature, no cap β€” don't let the struct pointers scare you, they're just little guys:

void security_inode_post_create_tmpfile (struct mnt_idmap *idmap , struct inode *inode );

it returns void, so there's no return value to catch. periodt. 🫢


🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • idmap β€” idmap of the mount. it's the mount's idmap bestie, that's the whole lore. πŸ¦‹
  • inode β€” inode of the new tmpfile. yes, the new tmpfile's inode. iconic. 🌸

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so after a tmpfile has been created, this function updates the inode security data. that's it. that's the job. it's giving β€œsmall function, big security energy” and honestly? obsessed. ✨


πŸ¦‹ SEE ALSO πŸ¦‹

now for the SEE ALSO section, and it is not a drill β€” the whole security crew is here. every single reference from the page is below, exactly as it appears, because we do not skip details in this house. it's long, it's iconic, it's giving group-chat energy. πŸ’€πŸ’–
