security_read_policy(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to security_read_policy(9) from the Kernel API Manual — she’s giving tiny-but-mighty kernel API energy, and we’re reading the policy together 💖

✨ NAME ✨

security_read_policy — read the policy. That’s the whole name, no cap, and honestly she ate that brevity 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int security_read_policy (void **data , size_t *len );

that’s literally the whole signature, bestie — int out front, pointers in the parentheses, semicolon doing its lil thing ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • data — binary policy data. Yes ma’am, that’s the data and it’s binary policy data 🫶
  • len — length of data in bytes. The byte count, the whole byte count, and nothing but the byte count 💅

two arguments, both iconic, neither extra 👑
