Subject: [PATCH v7 11/11] landlock: Document FS access right for pathname UNIX sockets
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 17:56:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323165654.193957-12-gnoack3000@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260323165654.193957-1-gnoack3000@gmail.com>
Add LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX to the example code, and explain
it in the section about previous limitations. The bulk of the
interesting flag documentation lives in the kernel header and is
included in the Sphinx rendering.
