secpolev_get_process_name()

Get the name of the process associated with an event

Synopsis:

#include <secpol/secpolev.h>
const char* secpolev_get_process_name(void)

Library:

libsecpolev

Description:

The secpolev_get_process_name() function returns the name of the process associated with the last event received, or NULL, if not known. There are typically a few ability checks that are tested before a process gets a name (e.g., prot_exec and map_fixed).

Note that in the initial stage of an exec*() call, the process has no name, but this is not considered an error and errno is not set.

The returned string remains valid until the next call to secpolev_wait_event().

Returns:

The process name.
