Subject: ANN: libseccomp

With the seccomp patches finally stabilizing a bit, it seems like now is a 
good time to announce libseccomp: a library designed to make it easier to 
create complex, architecture independent seccomp filters.

 * http://sourceforge.net/projects/libseccomp/
 * git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/libseccomp/libseccomp

The library has only been in development for the past couple months, so it may 
be a little rough around the edges, and definitely could use more testing, but 
it is functional and has had some basic testing against the seccomp v17 
patches.  The project currently lacks any online documentation or a website 
beyond the basic SF.net tools, but there are current man pages in the source 
repository and the code is reasonably well commented.

For those of you who are interested in making use of the library, or 
contributing to its development and testing, we do have a mailing list setup 
(see the To/CC line above) and you can subscribe at the link below; all are 
welcome.

To demonstrate some of the basic libseccomp capabilities, I've included a 
short example below.  The example is trivial, it opens /dev/zero and writes to 
/dev/null, but it shows how to use libseccomp to create a simple filter and 
load it into the kernel; filtering both on just the syscall and a syscall with 
specific arguments.
