tomoyo_merge_mkdev_acl(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 tomoyo_merge_mkdev_acl — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this one's a certified kernel-internals bop and the manual name is literally just Kernel API Manual — we're in the big leagues now, no cap ✨

✨ NAME ✨

tomoyo_merge_mkdev_acl — merges a duplicated struct tomoyo_mkdev_acl entry 💖 like it's doing a little merge makeover on two twin ACL entries, one of them has GOT to go

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool tomoyo_merge_mkdev_acl (struct tomoyo_acl_info *a , struct tomoyo_acl_info *b , const bool is_delete );

that's it, that's the whole vibe check 🔥 returns a bool, takes three args, takes names, living its truth

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • a — Pointer to struct tomoyo_acl_info. yes bestie, a pointer to a struct tomoyo_acl_info, that's the whole personality of this parameter 😌
  • b — Pointer to struct tomoyo_acl_info. also a pointer to a struct tomoyo_acl_info. they're matching. twins. iconic 👯‍♀️
  • is_delete — True for a &= ~b, false for a |= b. so it's basically the mood switch: delete mode clears bits out of a using b, otherwise it ORs them right in 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Returns true if a is empty, false otherwise 🫶 that's literally the whole description, she's short and she knows it, main character energy fr fr — one return value, two possible answers, zero drama ✨

ngl this is the shortest DESCRIPTION section I've ever seen and honestly? respect. she said "I said what I said" and dipped 💀

🔍 SEE ALSO 🔍

sourced from the kernel file ./security/tomoyo/file.c — a whole friend group of functions, and yes we're listing ALL of them, I would never do you dirty like that 🧚:

like, that's the whole security/tomoyo extended universe, we stan a supportive cross-reference list 💜

and that's the page bestie!! 🍓 this one came from the ./security/tomoyo corner of the kernel, dated October 2026, and yes the title bar on the way out still says tomoyo_merge_mkdev_acl(9) because some things never change 💖 mwah, go merge something 🫶✨
