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.
