tomoyo_manager(9)

💖 NAME 💖

tomoyo_manager — check whether the current process is a policy manager. We're in tomoyo_manager(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and yes bestie, this tiny bool-returner is lowkey the main character 👑✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool tomoyo_manager (void );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — no arguments. literally zero arguments, not a single one, we love a no-arg slay 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Returns true if the current process is permitted to modify policy via /sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/ interface. That's the whole check, and it's giving “are you actually a policy manager?” energy 💅

Also, super important: the caller holds tomoyo_read_lock. Keep that in your notes, bestie — it's part of the setup, no cap 🔥
