.SH DESCRIPTION
.\" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
.P
The
.BR seccomp_arch_exist ()
function tests to see if a given architecture has been added to the seccomp
filter in
.I ctx
, where the
.BR seccomp_arch_add ()
and
.BR seccomp_arch_remove ()
add and remove, respectively, architectures from the seccomp filter.  In all
three functions, the architecture values given in
.I arch_token
should be the
.BR SCMP_ARCH_*
defined constants; with the
.BR SCMP_ARCH_NATIVE
constant always referring to the native compiled architecture.  The
.BR seccomp_arch_native ()
function returns the system's architecture such that it will match one of the
.BR SCMP_ARCH_*
constants.  While the
.BR seccomp_arch_resolve_name ()
function also returns a
.BR SCMP_ARCH_*
constant, the returned token matches the name of the architecture
passed as an argument to the function.
.P
When a seccomp filter is initialized with the call to
.BR seccomp_init (3)
the native architecture is automatically added to the filter.
.P
While it is possible to remove all architectures from a filter, most of the
libseccomp APIs will fail if the filter does not contain at least one
architecture.
.P
When adding a new architecture to an existing filter, the existing rules will
not be added to the new architecture.  However, rules added after adding the
new architecture will be added to all of the architectures in the filter.

.SH RETURN VALUE
.\" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The
.BR seccomp_arch_add ()
and
.BR seccomp_arch_remove ()
functions return zero on success, negative errno values on failure.  The
.BR seccomp_arch_exist ()
function returns zero if the architecture exists, \-EEXIST if it does not, and
other negative errno values on failure.

#include <seccomp.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	int rc = \-1;

		if (rc != 0)
			goto out_all;
		rc = seccomp_arch_remove(ctx, SCMP_ARCH_NATIVE);

.SH NOTES
.\" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
.P
While the seccomp filter can be generated independent of the kernel, kernel
support is required to load and enforce the seccomp filter generated by
libseccomp.

as well as the libseccomp library, is currently under development, please
