/* This program creates a small Secure Computing filter usable for a
typical minimal Emacs sandbox. See the man page for `seccomp' for
details about Secure Computing filters. This program requires the
`libseccomp' library. However, the resulting filter file requires
only a Linux kernel supporting the Secure Computing extension.
Usage:
seccomp-filter out.bpf out.pfc out-exec.bpf out-exec.pfc
This writes the raw `struct sock_filter' array to out.bpf and a
human-readable representation to out.pfc. Additionally, it writes
variants of those files that can be used to sandbox Emacs before
'execve' to out-exec.bpf and out-exec.pfc. */
