security_msg_queue_msgsnd(9)

okay so bestie, this is the page for security_msg_queue_msgsnd(9) from the Kernel API Manual. It's giving "LSM security hook checking whether your SysV IPC message can slide into the queue" energy, and yes, we're gonna keep every single reference because we don't do missing details around here 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

security_msg_queue_msgsnd — check if sending a sysv ipc message is allowed

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int security_msg_queue_msgsnd (struct kern_ipc_perm *msq , struct msg_msg *msg , int msqflg );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• msq — the sysv ipc permission structure, aka the permission vibe check for the queue
• msg — the message itself, the little guy trying to get enqueued
• msqflg — operation flags, because of course there are flags

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So before a message, msg, gets enqueued on the message queue with permissions specified in msq, this hook checks permission. That's it, that's the whole job. It's the bouncer at the door of the message queue, checking if your message is allowed in before it gets to be all cozy in there 🫶

🦋 RETURN 🦋

Returns 0 if permission is granted. Zero means yes, slay, go ahead.
