💅 tomoyo_same_path2_acl — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the tomoyo_same_path2_acl(9) page ✨ this is a little kernel-API moment from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, big responsibilities." let's get into it 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

tomoyo_same_path2_acl — the girl whose whole job is checking for a duplicated "struct tomoyo_path2_acl" entry 👑 no cap, that's the entire gig.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool tomoyo_same_path2_acl (const struct tomoyo_acl_info *a , const
struct tomoyo_acl_info *b );

look at her go 😭 she takes two struct tomoyo_acl_info pointers and hands you back a bool. iconic signature, fr fr 💖

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • a — Pointer to "struct tomoyo_acl_info". (yes, it's literally just a pointer to a struct tomoyo_acl_info. she said "keep it simple" 💅)
  • b — Pointer to "struct tomoyo_acl_info". (same energy, different variable name 🌸)

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

Returns true if a == b except permission bits, and false otherwise.

that's it. that's the whole function. she compares the two, ignores the permission bits on purpose (main character boundary-setting energy 👑), and gives you a straight true/false answer. no drama, no guessing, no ambiguous vibes. periodt 🎀

ngl bestie, "except permission bits" is doing a LOT of work in that sentence, so don't sleep on it — the comparison is not a straight-up full equality check 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./security/tomoyo/file.c, plus the whole friend group 💖:

like, the whole security/tomoyo clique showed up to the group chat 😭 obsessed 🦋

okay bestie that's the page 💜 super short, super specific, and honestly kind of a slay for a comparison helper. this one lives in ./security/tomoyo and the version tag on it is October 2026 — so yeah, mark your calendar, she's from the future 🌸✨ mwah, go read the rest of the (9) pages, iykyk 💅🎀
