💖 validate_policy(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for validate_policy(9), and yes, it's giving very specific kernel-security energy. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

validate_policy — validate a parsed policy.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int validate_policy (const struct ipe_parsed_policy *p );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• p — supplies the fully parsed policy. Like, the whole thing, already parsed and ready for its vibe check. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Given a policy structure that was just parsed, validate that all operations have their default rules or a global default rule is set. No cap: this is the “does this policy actually have its defaults together?” check. ✨

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 — Success. Iconic. We love a zero. 💖
• -EBADMSG — Policy is invalid. Not the vibe. 😭
