tomoyo_create_entry(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 tomoyo_create_entry 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the tomoyo_create_entry(9) page — that's section 9, the Kernel API Manual, so you know it's the grown-up kernel-nerd section ✨ no cap, this is the whole thing and we're gonna get through it together 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

tomoyo_create_entry — literally just creates interface files under the /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/ directory. that's it, that's the vibe 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the signature, copied exactly because we do not play with function signatures, periodt:

void tomoyo_create_entry (const char *name , const umode_t mode , struct
dentry *parent , const u8 key );

void return, four args, chef's kiss 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

so like, four things go in, and here's what each one is giving:

  • name — the name of the interface file. yep, the literal name, main character energy 👑
  • mode — the permission of the interface file. what it's allowed to do, the whole vibe check 🔥
  • parent — the parent directory. who it lives with, its home base 🏠
  • key — type of interface. the category it belongs to, iykyk 💜

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

Returns nothing.

that's literally the entire description bestie 😭 no return value, nothing comes back, it just does the thing and dips 🙈 lowkey iconic honestly.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay quick reminder bestie — this is section 9 kernel API, so don't go typing this into your shell and expecting magic. it's for the kernel girlies 💖
