Description : Kafel is a language and library for specifying syscall filtering policies. The policies are compiled into BPF code that can be used with seccomp-filter.
Kafel is a small, embeddable library that implements a custom policy language for defining seccomp-bpf rules. It is used by security sandboxing tools such as nsjail to safely filter system calls. The library supports a simple, C-like syntax and compiles policies into BPF programs.
I intend to package this as a shared library (`libkafel1`) and a development package (`libkafel-dev`) following Debian policy for shared libraries.
This package is a prerequisite for packaging `nsjail`, which I also intend to submit separately.
I am preparing the package and will upload it to
mentors.debian.net for sponsorship.
