set_create_files_as(9)

🌸 set_create_files_as(9) — Kernel API Manual energy 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for set_create_files_as(9) — this one is short, sweet, and lowkey iconic. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

set_create_files_as — Set the LSM file create context in a set of credentials

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int set_create_files_as (struct cred *new , struct inode *inode );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• new — The credentials to alter.
• inode — The inode to take the context from.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so here’s the vibe: this changes the LSM file creation context in a set of credentials so it’s the same as the object context of the specified inode. The whole point? So that the new inodes have the same MAC context as that inode. No cap, that’s the whole little glow-up. ✨
