The s6-accessrules-fs-from-cdb program

s6-accessrules-fs-from-cdb decompiles a CDB database containing a ruleset suitable for s6-ipcserver-access or s6-tcpserver-access and that has been compiled with s6-accessrules-cdb-from-fs.

Interface

     s6-accessrules-fs-from-cdb dir cdbfile
  • s6-accessrules-fs-from-cdb decompiles the CDB file cdbfile into the directory dir, then exits 0.

Notes

  • dir must not exist prior to the decompilation.
  • dir must be considered a work in progress as long as s6-accessrules-fs-from-cdb is running. It is only safe to use dir as a ruleset once the program has exited.
  • If s6-accessrules-fs-from-cdb fails at some point, the partial arborescence at dir is removed. However, this doesn't happen if s6-accessrules-fs-from-cdb is interrupted by a signal.
  • After the program successfully completes, if cdbfile was a suitable candidate for the -x option of s6-ipcserver-access or s6-tcpserver-access, then dir will be a suitable candidate for the -i option of the same program, implementing the same ruleset.
