fanotify_init
Implemented in Antinomie 0.7.0 · Syscall list
Synopsis
Section titled “Synopsis”long fanotify_init(unsigned int flags, unsigned int event_f_flags);| Number (x86-64) | 300 |
| ABI | common |
| Kernel entry point | sys_fanotify_init |
This is the raw kernel prototype from the pinned Linux 6.12.94 schema, not the libc wrapper.
Description
Section titled “Description”Creates a fanotify group for filesystem-wide event notification and access control.
Arguments
Section titled “Arguments”| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
flags (arg0) |
unsigned int |
Option flags that change the behavior of the call. |
event_f_flags (arg1) |
unsigned int |
Flags for the event file descriptor. |
Return value
Section titled “Return value”On success: A new file descriptor (a non-negative number).
In an Antinomie trace the Return column and the ret filter field show the raw kernel return value. On failure that is the negative errno, for example -2 for ENOENT, not the -1 plus errno that the libc wrapper gives. syscall.errno holds the positive errno and syscall.success is false.
Common errors
Section titled “Common errors”| Raw return | Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
-22 |
EINVAL |
An argument is invalid. |
-1 |
EPERM |
The operation is not permitted for this process. |
Man page
Section titled “Man page”Captured by Antinomie
Section titled “Captured by Antinomie”Coverage mark: Implemented. All arguments are plain values, recorded as the raw argument words at entry. There is no pointee to copy and no known gap.
Every call is recorded as an Entry record (the six argument words and the pointees copied at entry) and an Exit record (the return value and the pointees copied at exit).
Arguments
Section titled “Arguments”| Argument | When | How | Recorded field key | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
flags (arg0) |
Entry | raw scalar word; Syscall Trace also decodes it into flag names (fanotify_init group), listing unknown bits separately |
args.0, args.flags |
|
event_f_flags (arg1) |
Entry | raw scalar word; Syscall Trace also decodes it into flag names (open group), listing unknown bits separately |
args.1, args.event_f_flags |
Filter fields
Section titled “Filter fields”- Result:
ret,syscall.errno,syscall.success,syscall.duration_ns. - Argument words:
args.flags(arg0),args.event_f_flags(arg1);args.0toargs.5by position.
See Syscall Trace filter for the full syntax.
