Idea behind the library is that we are passing a remaining .Fa argc and .Fa argv which contains a list of files that should be open for this program. The library will create a service that will serve those files. .Pp The function .Fn fileargs_init create a service to the .Nm system.fileargs . The .Fa argv contains a list of files that should be opened. The argument can be set to .Dv NULL which will not create a service and all files will be prohibited to be opened. The .Fa argc argument contains a number of passed files. The .Fa flags argument limits opened files for either execution or reading and/or writing. The .Fa mode argument tells which what mode file should be created if the .Dv O_CREATE flag is present . For more details of the .Fa flags and .Fa mode arguments see .Xr open 2 . The .Fa rightsp argument contains a list of the capability rights which file should be limited to. For more details of the capability rights see .Xr cap_rights_init 3 . The .Fa operations argument limits the operations that are available using .Nm system.fileargs . .Fa operations is a combination of: .Bl -ohang -offset indent .It FA_OPEN Allow .Fn fileargs_open and .Fn fileargs_fopen . .It FA_LSTAT Allow .Fn fileargs_lstat . .It FA_REALPATH Allow .Fn fileargs_realpath . .El .Pp The function .Fn fileargs_cinit is equivalent to .Fn fileargs_init except that the connection to the Casper needs to be provided. .Pp The functions .Fn fileargs_initnv and .Fn fileargs_cinitnv are respectively equivalent to .Fn fileargs_init and .Fn fileargs_cinit expect that all arguments all provided as .Xr nvlist 9 . For details see .Sx LIMITS . .Pp The .Fa fileargs_free close connection to the .Nm system.fileargs service and free are structures. The function handle .Dv NULL argument. .Pp The function .Fn fileargs_lstat is equivalent to .Xr lstat 2 . .Pp The functions .Fn fileargs_open and .Fn fileargs_fopen are respectively equivalent to .Xr open 2 and .Xr fopen 3 expect that all arguments are fetched from the .Va fileargs_t structure. .Pp The function .Fn fileargs_realpath is equivalent to .Xr realpath 3 . .Pp .Fn fileargs_open , .Fn fileargs_lstat , .Fn fileargs_realpath , .Fn fileargs_cinitnv , .Fn fileargs_initnv , and .Fn fileargs_fopen are reentrant but not thread-safe. That is, they may be called from separate threads only with different .Vt cap_channel_t arguments or with synchronization. .Sh LIMITS This section describe which values and types should be used to pass arguments to the .Fa system.fileargs through the .Fn fileargs_initnv and .Fn fileargs_cinitnv functions. The .Xr nvlist 9 for that functions must contain the following values and types: .Bl -ohang -offset indent .It flags ( NV_TYPE_NUMBER ) The .Va flags limits opened files for either execution or reading and/or writing. .It mode (NV_TYPE_NUMBER) If in the .Va flags argument the .Dv O_CREATE flag was defined the .Xr nvlist 9 must contain the .Va mode . The .Va mode argument tells which what mode file should be created. .It operations (NV_TYPE_NUMBER) The .Va operations limits the usable operations for .Fa system.fileargs . The possible values are explained as .Va operations argument with .Fn fileargs_init . .El .Pp The .Xr nvlist 9 for that functions may contain the following values and types: .Bl -ohang -offset indent .It cap_rights ( NV_TYPE_BINARY ) The .Va cap_rights argument contains a list of the capability rights which file should be limited to. .It ( NV_TYPE_NULL ) Any number of .Dv NV_TYPE_NULL where the name of the element is name of the file which can be opened. .El .Sh EXAMPLES The following example first parse some options and then create the .Nm system.fileargs service with remaining arguments. .Bd -literal int ch, fd, i; cap_rights_t rights; fileargs_t *fa; while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "h")) != -1) { switch (ch) { case 'h': default: usage(); } } argc -= optind; argv += optind; /* Create capability to the system.fileargs service. */ fa = fileargs_init(argc, argv, O_RDONLY, 0, cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_READ), FA_OPEN); if (fa == NULL) err(1, "unable to open system.fileargs service"); /* Enter capability mode sandbox. */ if (cap_enter() < 0 && errno != ENOSYS) err(1, "unable to enter capability mode"); /* Open files. */ for (i = 0; i < argc; i++) { fd = fileargs_open(fa, argv[i]); if (fd < 0) err(1, "unable to open file %s", argv[i]); printf("File %s opened in capability mode\en", argv[i]); close(fd); } fileargs_free(fa); .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr cap_enter 2 , .Xr lstat 2 , .Xr open 2 , .Xr cap_rights_init 3 , .Xr err 3 , .Xr fopen 3 , .Xr getopt 3 , .Xr realpath 3 , .Xr capsicum 4 , .Xr nv 9 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm cap_fileargs service first appeared in .Fx 10.3 . .Sh AUTHORS .An Mariusz Zaborski Aq Mt oshogbo@FreeBSD.org .Sh BUGS The .Lb cap_fileargs included in .Fx is considered experimental, and should not be deployed in production environments without careful consideration of the risks associated with the use of experimental operating system features.
