.SH DESCRIPTION
.\" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
.P
The
.BR seccomp_merge ()
function merges the seccomp filter in
.I src
with the filter in
.I dst
and stores the resulting in the
.I dst
filter.  If successful, the
.I src
seccomp filter is released and all internal memory associated with the filter
is freed; there is no need to call
.BR seccomp_release (3)
on
.I src
and the caller should discard any references to the filter.
.P
In order to merge two seccomp filters, both filters must have the same
attribute values and no overlapping architectures.
.\" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
.SH RETURN VALUE
.\" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Returns zero on success or one of the following error codes on
failure:
.TP
.B -EDOM
Unable to merge the filters due to architecture issues, e.g. byte endian
mismatches.
.TP
.B -EEXIST
The architecture already exists in the filter.
.TP
.B -EINVAL
One of the filters is invalid.
.TP
.B -ENOMEM
The library was unable to allocate enough memory.

.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
