Link with -lseccomp.
The seccomp_arch_exist() function tests to see if a given
architecture has been added to the seccomp filter in ctx, where
the seccomp_arch_add() and seccomp_arch_remove() add and remove,
respectively, architectures from the seccomp filter. In all three
functions, the architecture values given in arch_token should be
the SCMP_ARCH_* defined constants; with the SCMP_ARCH_NATIVE
constant always referring to the native compiled architecture.
The seccomp_arch_native() function returns the system's
architecture such that it will match one of the SCMP_ARCH_*
constants. While the seccomp_arch_resolve_name() function also
returns a SCMP_ARCH_* constant, the returned token matches the
name of the architecture passed as an argument to the function.
When a seccomp filter is initialized with the call to
seccomp_init(3) the native architecture is automatically added to
the filter.
While it is possible to remove all architectures from a filter,
most of the libseccomp APIs will fail if the filter does not
contain at least one architecture.
When adding a new architecture to an existing filter, the existing
rules will not be added to the new architecture. However, rules
added after adding the new architecture will be added to all of
the architectures in the filter.
The seccomp_arch_add(), seccomp_arch_remove(), and
seccomp_arch_exist() functions return zero on success or one of
the following error codes on failure:
-EDOM Architecture specific failure.
-EEXIST
In the case of seccomp_arch_add() the architecture already
exists and in the case of seccomp_arch_remove() the
architecture does not exist.
-EINVAL
Invalid input, either the context or architecture token is
invalid.
-ENOMEM
The library was unable to allocate enough memory.
#include <seccomp.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])

int rc = -1;
scmp_filter_ctx ctx;
ctx = seccomp_init(SCMP_ACT_KILL);
if (ctx == NULL)
goto out;
if (seccomp_arch_exist(ctx, SCMP_ARCH_X86) == -EEXIST) {
rc = seccomp_arch_add(ctx, SCMP_ARCH_X86);
if (rc != 0)
goto out_all;
rc = seccomp_arch_remove(ctx, SCMP_ARCH_NATIVE);
if (rc != 0)
goto out_all;
}
/* ... */
out:
seccomp_release(ctx);
return -rc;
}
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.
The libseccomp project site, with more information and the source
code repository, can be found at
https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp. This tool, as well as the
libseccomp library, is currently under development, please report
any bugs at the project site or directly to the author.
