Curious if this is similar to capabilities FreeBSD has had for ages ?
But I wish they would have chosen pledge(2)/unveil(2) from OpenBSD instead. Added that to your programs is so easy even I can do it.
I know that someone in Linux tried to add that to Linux. But IIRC it was in user space and harder to use. I think pledge/unveil really should be in the Linux kernel.
