💅 tomoyo_update_path2_acl(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for tomoyo_update_path2_acl(9) — yes that's the whole title, she's long, she's iconic, we move. this one's a little kernel helper that keeps a list tidy and honestly it's giving "quiet main character energy" ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

tomoyo_update_path2_acl — update the "struct tomoyo_path2_acl" list. that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly fr fr 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int tomoyo_update_path2_acl (const u8 perm , struct tomoyo_acl_param
*param );

one function, two arguments, zero drama. look at that signature slaying in monospace 😌

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

  • perm — the permission. like, the whole point. the vibe. the thing you're granting. const u8, so it's small and it's not changing on your watch 💅
  • param — a pointer to "struct tomoyo_acl_param". yes bestie, a pointer, handle with care, we love a struct reference 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's the tea ☕ — this function returns 0 on success, and a negative value otherwise. no cap, that's the whole contract: zero good, negative bad. screenshot it, memorize it, put it on your mirror 🌈

⚠️ real talk for a sec: the caller holds tomoyo_read_lock. that's not optional, that's not a suggestion, that's the rule. don't come for this function without your lock held, i'm begging 😭

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay this is the friend group and it is stacked. literally the whole Kernel file ./security/tomoyo/file.c crew, all here, all together, group chat popping off 💖:

like, thirty-five besties. thirty-five. that's not a SEE ALSO, that's a whole festival lineup 🎪✨

and that's the page!! 🧚 mwah, go update your lists responsibly 💜
