NAME¶

seccomp_release - Release the seccomp filter state

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <seccomp.h>

typedef void * scmp_filter_ctx;

void seccomp_release(scmp_filter_ctx ctx);

Link with -lseccomp.

DESCRIPTION¶

Releases the seccomp filter in ctx which was first initialized by seccomp_init(3) or seccomp_reset(3) and frees any memory associated with the given seccomp filter context. Any seccomp filters loaded into the kernel are not affected.

RETURN VALUE¶

Does not return a value.

EXAMPLES¶

#include <seccomp.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	int rc;
	scmp_filter_ctx ctx;
	ctx = seccomp_init(SCMP_ACT_KILL);
	if (ctx == NULL)
		return -1;
	/* ... */
	seccomp_release(ctx);
	return 0;
}

NOTES¶

While the seccomp filter can be generated independent of the kernel, kernel support is required to load and enforce the seccomp filter generated by libseccomp.
