seccomp_merge - Merge two seccomp filters
#include <seccomp.h>
typedef void * scmp_filter_ctx;
int seccomp_merge(scmp_filter_ctx dst, scmp_filter_ctx src);
Link with -lseccomp.
The seccomp_merge() function merges the seccomp filter in src with
the filter in dst and stores the resulting in the dst filter. If
successful, the src seccomp filter is released and all internal
memory associated with the filter is freed; there is no need to
call seccomp_release(3) on src and the caller should discard any
references to the filter.
In order to merge two seccomp filters, both filters must have the
same attribute values and no overlapping architectures.
Returns zero on success or one of the following error codes on
failure:
-EDOM Unable to merge the filters due to architecture issues,
e.g. byte endian mismatches.
-EEXIST
The architecture already exists in the filter.
-EINVAL
One of the filters is invalid.
-ENOMEM
The library was unable to allocate enough memory.

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.

libseccomp library, is currently under development, please report
