tomoyo_scan_bprm(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 tomoyo_scan_bprm(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, that's the manual name, we're in the kernel docs girlies now 🫶 and today's main character is tomoyo_scan_bprm. no cap, it's a whole function and it's lowkey iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

tomoyo_scan_bprm — literally does what it says: it scans "struct linux_binprm". that's the vibe. 💫

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bool tomoyo_scan_bprm (struct tomoyo_execve *ee , const u16 argc , const
       struct tomoyo_argv *argv , const u16 envc , const struct tomoyo_envp
       *envp );

it returns a bool, bestie. careful with the types, they're all right there and they do NOT want to be changed. 🙈

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ee — pointer to "struct tomoyo_execve". yeah, it's a pointer. she's pointing at her own special little struct. 🫶
  • argc — the length of argc. that's it, that's the whole thing, it's a const u16 and it's counting. 🔥
  • argv — pointer to "struct tomoyo_argv". another pointer, we love consistency. ✨
  • envc — the length of envp. note: it's the length of envp, not argc, don't get it twisted bestie. 💀
  • envc... wait no, one envc is enough 😭 — the last one is:
  • envp — pointer to "struct tomoyo_envp". she's bringing the environment energy. 🌸

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so the whole plot: it returns true on success, and false otherwise. that's the entire description, no notes, no cap. short and slay. 💅

like honestly? a queen who knows exactly what she does and says no more than that. periodt. 👑
