smack_flags_to_may(9)
π
smack_flags_to_may β from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 bestie β¨
okay so real talk, this one is short and sweet and honestly it ate. it's a tiny little helper in the Smack security subsystem and it does exactly one thing, no notes. let's get into it π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
smack_flags_to_may β convert S_ to MAY_ values π«
like, it's a translator. a little bilingual bestie fluent in both S_ and MAY_. iykyk π
π SYNOPSIS π
int smack_flags_to_may (int flags );
that's it. that's the whole vibe. one function, one argument, one int out the other side π
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
flagsβ theS_value. yep, that's the one. the before picture. the raw material. hand it over and let the function cook π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
Returns the equivalent MAY_ value β¨
that's genuinely the whole description, no cap. you give it an S_ value, it gives you back the matching MAY_ value. conversion arc complete, main character energy from start to finish π
no flags to set, no env vars to worry about, no exit statuses, no signals, no bugs listed. it's giving "i do one thing and i do it flawlessly." periodt π
π SEE ALSO π
the kernel file lives at ./security/smack/smack_lsm.c, and lowkey there are SO many friends in this ecosystem. all of them, in order, because we don't skip people in this house π«Ά also, heads up, this list is long β grab a snack bestie π

okay that's the whole page, bestie, and honestly it was a quick read for once ππ the file directory do be ./security/smack though, and the date on this cutie is October 2026 β so like, future vibes. consider this your sign-off: stay smacking, stay converting, and remember that S_ β MAY_ is the conversion arc of the century πππ§ββοΈ
