vec_find(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 vec_find(9) — find label @l in label set

okay so this is vec_find, straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's one of those lil functions that does exactly one job and does it iconically ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct aa_label * vec_find (struct aa_profile **vec , int n );

that's the whole signature bestie, no cap — it hands you back a struct aa_label * 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vec — the array of profiles we're finding an equiv label for. and like… it is NOT NULL, okay? please do not pass NULL, this is not that kind of party 💀
  • n — the length of vec, bestie. yes you have to know how long your own array is, i don't make the rules 👑

⭐ RETURN ⭐

if the vec equiv is in the tree you get a refcounted label back — refcounted!! so like, it's yours but also kind of not, handle it responsibly 🫶

if the vec equiv is not in the tree you get NULL. that's it. that's the whole vibe check 🌈

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

this function is lowkey part of a whole squad, and the squad lives in the kernel file ./security/apparmor/label.c — here's the full group chat 💖

and that's the page, bestie 💜 it's from ./security/apparmor, version vibes October 2026, and the manual page itself is vec_find(9) — go forth and find those labels, slay 🧚‍♀️✨
