Documentation

libsyd: SydB☮x /dev/syd interface implementation

SydB☮x GNU Linux Exherbo musl libc libsecc☮mp Paludis

libsyd is a comprehensive C library designed for interfacing with the SydB☮x environment. It offers functionalities for managing sandbox states, and facilitating runtime configuration and interaction with the Sydb☮x sandboxing environment.

syd.py is a Python module that uses ctypes to use libsyd.

Features

  • Interact with the /dev/syd device for sandbox management.
  • Straightforward integration with C and Python applications.

Prerequisites

  • Rust (1.65 or later)
  • Python 3.x (if using Python bindings)

  1. Clone the repository: 
    git clone https://git.sr.ht/~alip/syd
cd lib
  2. Use the Makefile which utilizes Cargo to build

ChangeLog

3.0.1

  • go: initial libsyd Go bindings

3.0.0

  • Define LockState enum and LOCK_OFF, LOCK_EXEC and LOCK_ON constants. These were already defined for perl, and python so this makes the C library compatible.
  • use itoa crate to make syd_load function simpler and more efficient.
  • python: Implement the new function load.
  • perl: Implement the new function load.
  • Implement the new function syd_load.
  • python: Implement new functions panic and reset.
  • perl: Implement new functions panic and reset.
  • Implement new functions syd_panic() and syd_reset().
  • perl: fix argument handling of the exec function
  • perl: new constant $syd::LIBSYD_PATH points to the path of libsyd.so.
  • Start using nix to call lstat rather than Rust std.
  • Define __all__ for pysyd such that from syd import * becomes practical.

3.0.0-alpha.6

  • Initial Perl bindings
