[PATCH 2/2] man/man7/landlock.7: Document LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX (ABI v9)

Günther Noack <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-man
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Document the new LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_RESOLVE_UNIX filesystem access right,
which controls lookups of pathname UNIX domain sockets.  Restricts both
connect(2) and sendmsg(2) with an explicit recipient address to UNIX
sockets created outside the Landlock domain (same semantics as
LANDLOCK_SCOPE_* flags).  Denied attempts return EACCES.

Available since Linux 7.1 (Landlock ABI version 9).
