+.\" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.\" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
+.P
+The
+.BR seccomp_export_bpf ()
+and
+.BR seccomp_export_pfc ()
+functions generate and output the current seccomp filter in either BPF (Berkeley
+Packet Filter) or PFC (Pseudo Filter Code). The output of
+.BR seccomp_export_bpf ()
+is suitable for loading into the kernel, while the output of
+.BR seccomp_export_pfc ()
+is human readable and is intended primarily as a debugging tool for developers
+using libseccomp. Both functions write the filter to the
+.I fd
+file descriptor.
+.P
+The filter context
+.I ctx
+is the value returned by the call to
+.BR seccomp_init (3).
+.P
+While the two output formats are guaranteed to be functionally equivalent for
+the given seccomp filter configuration, the filter instructions, and their
+ordering, are not guaranteed to be the same in both the BPF and PFC formats.
+.\" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.\" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
+Return zero on success or one of the following error codes on
+failure:
+.TP
+.B -ECANCELED
+There was a system failure beyond the control of the library.
+.TP
+.B -EFAULT
+Internal libseccomp failure.
+.TP
+.B -EINVAL
+Invalid input, either the context or architecture token is invalid.
+.TP
+.B -ENOMEM
+The library was unable to allocate enough memory.
+.P
+If the \fISCMP_FLTATR_API_SYSRAWRC\fP filter attribute is non-zero then
+additional error codes may be returned to the caller; these additional error
+codes are the negative \fIerrno\fP values returned by the system. Unfortunately
+libseccomp can make no guarantees about these return values.

+#include <seccomp.h>
+
+int main(int argc, char *argv[])
+{
+ int rc = \-1;

+.\" //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
+.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.
+.P
+The libseccomp project site, with more information and the source code
+repository, can be found at https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp. This tool,
+as well as the libseccomp library, is currently under development, please
+report any bugs at the project site or directly to the author.
