security_ino...eate_tmpfile(9)
π NAME π
okay so bestie, welcome to security_ino...eate_tmpfile(9), straight outta the Kernel API Manual β¨ 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. π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
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. π«Ά
π«Ά ARGUMENTS π«Ά
idmapβ idmap of the mount. it's the mount's idmap bestie, that's the whole lore. π¦inodeβ inode of the new tmpfile. yes, the new tmpfile's inode. iconic. πΈ
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
so after a tmpfile has been created, this function updates the inode security data. that's it. that's the job. it's giving βsmall function, big security energyβ and honestly? obsessed. β¨
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
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. ππ
