-.Dt VERIEXEC 4
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm veriexec
-.Nd Veriexec pseudo-device
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Cd pseudo-device veriexec
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-pseudo-device is used to interface the kernel's Veriexec data-structures.
-It is used to size the kernel data structures, load the Veriexec
-fingerprints into kernel memory and report the fingerprint methods
-supported by the currently running kernel.
-.Ss Veriexec file operations
-All the following operations are invoked using the
-.Xr ioctl 2
-system call.
-Refer to that man page for the description of the
-.Em request
-and
-.Em argp
-parameters.
-The following section lists the requests that can be made via
-.Xr ioctl 2 .
-.Ss Veriexec file request descriptions
-.Bl -tag -width VERIEXEC_FINGERPRINTS
-.It Dv VERIEXEC_TABLESIZE Fa struct veriexec_sizing_params
-Sizes the in kernel hash tables to accommodate the fingerprint entries.
-This request must be made prior to loading the fingerprints into the
-kernel.
-The argument structure contains the device to which the hash table relates
-and the number of fingerprint entries that will be loaded into the
-kernel for the device.
-.It Dv VERIEXEC_LOAD Fa struct veriexec_params
-Inserts a fingerprint into the in-kernel tables.
-These tables must have been previously sized using the
-.Dv VERIEXEC_TABLESIZE
-request.
-The argument structure is, as defined in
-.Pa /usr/include/sys/verified_exec.h :
-.Bd -literal
-struct veriexec_params  {
-        unsigned char type;
-        unsigned char fp_type[VERIEXEC_TYPE_MAXLEN];
-        char file[MAXPATHLEN];
-        unsigned int size;
-        unsigned char *fingerprint;
-};
-.Ed
-.Pp
-Where type contains the type of access allowed, which may be one of:
-.Bl -tag -width VERIEXEC_INDIRECT
-.It Dv VERIEXEC_DIRECT
-Allow execution of the file if fingerprint matches.
-.It Dv VERIEXEC_INDIRECT
-Allow execution of the file as a script interpreter only, direct command
-line invocation is disallowed.
-.It Dv VERIEXEC_FILE
-The file is a plain file, not an executable.
-.El
-.Pp
-Followed by fp_type, which is the fingerprint type.
-This is a case-insensitive character string that must match one of
-the fingerprint types supported by the running kernel.
-Next the path to the file to which the fingerprint applies.
-The field size is the number of bytes contained in the
-fingerprint, this is used by the kernel to provide a simple sanity check
-on the fingerprint passed.
-Lastly, the fingerprint is a pointer to an
-array of characters that comprise the fingerprint for the file.
-.It Dv VERIEXEC_FINGERPRINTS Fa struct veriexec_fp_report
-Copies a string that contains the fingerprint methods supported by the
-kernel into the buffer pointed to in the argument structure.
-The argument structure also contains the size of the storage that has
-been allocated by the caller to hold the string.
-If the size of the storage is insufficient to hold the entire string,
-then the string will not be copied into the buffer by the kernel; instead
-the size field will be updated with the amount of storage required to hold
-the fingerprint string.
-After performing this request the caller must check the size field in the
-argument structure.
-If this field differs from what was set prior to the
-request then the caller should reallocate the storage with the updated size
-and perform the request again.
-.El
-.Pp
-Note that the requests
-.Dv VERIEXEC_TABLESIZE
-and
-.Dv VERIEXEC_LOAD
-are not permitted once the kernel security level has been raised past 0
-by setting
-.Dv kern.securelevel
-using
-.Xr sysctl 8 .
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr sysctl 8 ,
-.Xr veriexecctl 8
-.Sh NOTES
-The size field in the
-.Dv VERIEXEC_LOAD
-structure is only used to validate that the size of the fingerprint being
-passed is the expected size for that fingerprint hash type; it is not used
-for any other purpose.
-A malicious person could deliberately mismatch the size of the fingerprint
-array and, possibly, cause a kernel page fault panic when the kernel
-reads the input fingerprint array memory.
-Due to this, it is recommended only the root user be allowed to access
-this device.
