DESCRIPTION

       The    seccomp_rule_add(),    seccomp_rule_add_array(),    seccomp_rule_add_exact(),   and
       seccomp_rule_add_exact_array() functions all add a new filter rule to the current  seccomp
       filter.   The  seccomp_rule_add() and seccomp_rule_add_array() functions will make a "best
       effort" to add the rule as specified, but may alter the rule slightly due to  architecture
       specifics  (e.g. internal rewriting of multiplexed syscalls, like socket and ipc functions
       on x86).  The seccomp_rule_add_exact() and seccomp_rule_add_exact_array()  functions  will
       attempt  to  add  the  rule exactly as specified so it may behave differently on different
       architectures.  While it does not guarantee a exact filter ruleset, seccomp_rule_add() and
       seccomp_rule_add_array() do guarantee the same behavior regardless of the architecture.

       The  newly  added  filter rule does not take effect until the entire filter is loaded into
       the kernel using seccomp_load(3).  When adding rules to  a  filter,  it  is  important  to
       consider  the  impact  of previously loaded filters; see the seccomp_load(3) documentation
       for more information.

       All of the filter rules supplied by the calling application are  combined  into  a  union,
       with  additional  logic to eliminate redundant syscall filters.  For example, if a rule is
       added which allows a given syscall with a specific set of argument values and later a rule
       is added which allows the same syscall regardless the argument values then the first, more
       specific rule, is effectively dropped from the filter by the second more generic rule.

       The SCMP_CMP(),  SCMP_CMP64(),  SCMP_A{0-5}(),  and  SCMP_A{0-5}_64()  macros  generate  a
       scmp_arg_cmp  structure  for use with the above functions. The SCMP_CMP() and SCMP_CMP64()
       macros allows the caller to specify  an  arbitrary  argument  along  with  the  comparison
       operator,   64-bit   mask,   and   64-bit   datum   values  where  the  SCMP_A{0-5}()  and
       SCMP_A{0-5}_64() macros are specific to a certain argument.

       The SCMP_CMP32() and SCMP_A{0-5}_32() macros are similar to the variants above,  but  they
       take 32-bit mask and 32-bit datum values.

       It  is  recommended  that  whenever  possible  developers  avoid  using the SCMP_CMP() and
       SCMP_A{0-5}() macros and use the variants which are explicitly 32 or 64-bit.  This  should
       help eliminate problems caused by an unwanted sign extension of negative datum values.

       If  syscall  argument  comparisons are included in the filter rule, all of the comparisons
       must be true for the rule to match.

       When adding syscall argument comparisons to the filter it is important  to  remember  that
       while  it  is possible to have multiple comparisons in a single rule, you can only compare
       each argument once in  a  single  rule.   In  other  words,  you  can  not  have  multiple
       comparisons of the 3rd syscall argument in a single rule.

       In  a  filter containing multiple architectures, it is an error to add a filter rule for a
       syscall that does not exist in all of the filter's architectures.

       While it is possible to specify the syscall value directly using the standard __NR_syscall
       values,  in  order  to  ensure proper operation across multiple architectures it is highly
       recommended to use the SCMP_SYS() macro instead.  See the EXAMPLES section below.   It  is
       also important to remember that regardless of the architectures present in the filter, the
       syscall numbers used in filter  rules  are  interpreted  in  the  context  of  the  native
       architecture.

       Starting  with Linux v4.8, there may be a need to create a rule with a syscall value of -1
       to allow tracing programs to skip a syscall invocation; in order to create a rule  with  a
       -1  syscall  value  it is necessary to first set the SCMP_FLTATR_API_TSKIP attribute.  See
       seccomp_attr_set(3) for more information.

       The filter context ctx is the value returned by the call to seccomp_init(3).

       Valid action values are as follows:

       SCMP_ACT_KILL
              The thread will be killed by the kernel when it calls a syscall  that  matches  the
              filter rule.

       SCMP_ACT_KILL_PROCESS
              The  process  will be killed by the kernel when it calls a syscall that matches the
              filter rule.

       SCMP_ACT_TRAP
              The thread will throw a SIGSYS signal when it calls  a  syscall  that  matches  the
              filter rule.

       SCMP_ACT_ERRNO(uint16_t errno)
              The  thread  will  receive  a  return  value  of errno when it calls a syscall that
              matches the filter rule.

       SCMP_ACT_TRACE(uint16_t msg_num)
              If  the  thread  is  being  traced  and   the   tracing   process   specified   the
              PTRACE_O_TRACESECCOMP  option in the call to ptrace(2), the tracing process will be
              notified, via PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP , and the  value  provided  in  msg_num  can  be
              retrieved using the PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG option.

       SCMP_ACT_LOG
              The  seccomp  filter  will  have  no effect on the thread calling the syscall if it
              matches the filter rule but the syscall will be logged.

       SCMP_ACT_ALLOW
              The seccomp filter will have no effect on the thread  calling  the  syscall  if  it
              matches the filter rule.

       SCMP_ACT_NOTIFY
              A  monitoring  process  will  be notified when a process running the seccomp filter
              calls a syscall that matches the filter rule.  The process that invokes the syscall
              waits   in   the   kernel   until   the   monitoring   process  has  responded  via
              seccomp_notify_respond(3) .

              When a filter utilizing SCMP_ACT_NOTIFY is  loaded  into  the  kernel,  the  kernel
              generates a notification fd that must be used to communicate between the monitoring
              process and the process(es)  being  filtered.   See  seccomp_notif_fd(3)  for  more
              information.

       Valid comparison op values are as follows:

       SCMP_CMP_NE
              Matches when the argument value is not equal to the datum value, example:

              SCMP_CMP( arg , SCMP_CMP_NE , datum )

       SCMP_CMP_LT
              Matches when the argument value is less than the datum value, example:

              SCMP_CMP( arg , SCMP_CMP_LT , datum )

       SCMP_CMP_LE
              Matches when the argument value is less than or equal to the datum value, example:

              SCMP_CMP( arg , SCMP_CMP_LE , datum )

       SCMP_CMP_EQ
              Matches when the argument value is equal to the datum value, example:

              SCMP_CMP( arg , SCMP_CMP_EQ , datum )

       SCMP_CMP_GE
              Matches  when  the  argument  value  is  greater  than or equal to the datum value,
              example:

              SCMP_CMP( arg , SCMP_CMP_GE , datum )

       SCMP_CMP_GT
              Matches when the argument value is greater than the datum value, example:

              SCMP_CMP( arg , SCMP_CMP_GT , datum )

       SCMP_CMP_MASKED_EQ
              Matches when the masked argument value is equal to the masked datum value, example:

              SCMP_CMP( arg , SCMP_CMP_MASKED_EQ , mask , datum )

RETURN VALUE

       The SCMP_SYS() macro returns a value  suitable  for  use  as  the  syscall  value  in  the
       seccomp_rule_add*()  functions.   In a similar manner, the SCMP_CMP() and SCMP_A*() macros
       return values suitable for use as  argument  comparisons  in  the  seccomp_rule_add()  and
       seccomp_rule_add_exact() functions.

       The    seccomp_rule_add(),    seccomp_rule_add_array(),    seccomp_rule_add_exact(),   and
       seccomp_rule_add_exact_array() functions return zero on success or one  of  the  following
       error codes on failure:

       -EDOM  Architecture specific failure.

       -EEXIST
              The rule already exists.

       -EFAULT
              Internal libseccomp failure.

       -EINVAL
              Invalid input, either the context or architecture token is invalid.

       -ENOMEM
              The library was unable to allocate enough memory.

       -EOPNOTSUPP
              The library doesn't support the particular operation.

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.

       library, is currently under development, please report any bugs at  the  project  site  or
