security_net...d_to_secattr(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel manual, we're fancy now 🎀) and it's all about security_netlbl_sid_to_secattr — the icon whose whole job is converting a SELinux SID into a NetLabel secattr. lowercase king behavior honestly 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int security_netlbl_sid_to_secattr (u32 sid , struct netlbl_lsm_secattr
*secattr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sid — bestie, this is the SELinux SID. the one you're converting. that one. 🫶
• secattr — the NetLabel packet security attributes, aka the destination where the converted goods land. it's giving "output parameter main character energy" ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what it does is literally: take the SELinux SID you dropped in sid, and convert it into a NetLabel security attribute. that's the whole vibe. no cap 💅

and the returns? okay so:

• it returns zero on success 🎉 (slay)
• and negative values on failure 😭 (not slay, but that's the deal)

that's it, that's the function. short, sweet, and it ate. periodt.

also don't forget the kernel file it lives in, bestie: ./security/selinux/ss/services.c 🗂️✨

ngl the squad over in ./security/selinux/ss dropped this one back in October 2026, and the vibe check passed with flying colors 🌈 that's the whole page, iykyk — go forth and convert those SIDs, you absolute icon 👑💖🦋
