memfd

crates.io Documentation

A pure-Rust library to work with Linux memfd and seals.

It provides support for creating memfd objects on Linux and handling seals on them. This was first introduced in Linux kernel 3.17. For further details, see memfd_create(2) manpage.

Example

extern crate memfd;
use memfd::errors::Result;

fn new_sized_memfd() -> Result<memfd::Memfd> {
    // Create a sealable memfd.
    let opts = memfd::MemfdOptions::default().allow_sealing(true);
    let mfd = opts.create("sized-1K")?;

    // Resize to 1024B.
    mfd.as_file().set_len(1024)?;

    // Add seals to prevent further resizing.
    let mut seals = memfd::SealsHashSet::new();
    seals.insert(memfd::FileSeal::SealShrink);
    seals.insert(memfd::FileSeal::SealGrow);
    mfd.add_seals(&seals)?;

    // Prevent further sealing changes.
    mfd.add_seal(memfd::FileSeal::SealSeal);

    Ok(mfd)
}
