libwaive is a tiny library that provides waive(), a function that allows a process to waive its right to perform certain actions (e.g. open a file).
It is inspired by Theo de Raadt's tame() system call (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.tech/43085) and uses libseccomp (https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp) and cmake (https://cmake.org).
libwaive can be built with either CMake (https://www.cmake.org/) or GNU Make (https://www.gnu.org/software/make/), with some limitations.
To build, simply run the following commands:
$ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake .. $ make $ sudo make install
or:
$ make $ sudo make install
libwaive has three major shortcomings:
libwaive is free and unencumbered software released under the terms of the MIT license; see COPYING for the license text. For a list of its authors and contributors, see AUTHORS.
