📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 smack_init(9) — from the Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, buckle up, because this one's short and sweet: smack_init(9) is the lil entry point that initializes the whole smack system. yes, that smack. no cap, this is the one that boots the vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

smack_init — initialize the smack system

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int smack_init (void );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • void — no arguments. like, literally none. it takes nothing, she's low-maintenance like that 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the whole plot: it returns 0 on success, and -ENOMEM if there's no memory. that's it. that's the tea 🫖

ngl, if you get -ENOMEM back, the system was out of memory — don't shoot the messenger 😭

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

she does not work alone, and the guest list is genuinely iconic. all of these live in the kernel file ./security/smack/smack_lsm.c:

like I said. a whole cast of main characters 👑🙈

alright bestie, that's the whole page 💜 this one lives in the kernel tree at ./security/smack, stamped October 2026 — go forth and initialize something, mwah 💋🍓
