       seccomp_export_bpf, seccomp_export_pfc - Export the seccomp filter
       #include <seccomp.h>
       typedef void * scmp_filter_ctx;
       int seccomp_export_bpf(const scmp_filter_ctx ctx, int fd);
       int seccomp_export_pfc(const scmp_filter_ctx ctx, int fd);
       Link with -lseccomp.
       The seccomp_export_bpf() and seccomp_export_pfc() functions generate
       and output the current seccomp filter in either BPF (Berkley Packet
       Filter) or PFC (Pseudo Filter Code).  The output of
       seccomp_export_bpf() is suitable for loading into the kernel, while
       the output of 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 fd file descriptor.
       The filter context ctx is the value returned by the call to
       seccomp_init(3).
       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.
       Returns zero on success, negative errno values on failure.
       #include <seccomp.h>
       int main(int argc, char *argv[])
       {
            int rc = -1;
            scmp_filter_ctx ctx;
            int filter_fd;
            ctx = seccomp_init(SCMP_ACT_KILL);
            if (ctx == NULL)
                 goto out;
            /* ... */
            filter_fd = open("/tmp/seccomp_filter.bpf", O_WRONLY);
            if (filter_fd == -1) {
                 rc = -errno;
                 goto out;
            }
            rc = seccomp_export_bpf(ctx, filter_fd);
            if (rc < 0) {
                 close(filter_fd);
                 goto out;
            }
            close(filter_fd);
            /* ... */
       out:
            seccomp_release(ctx);
            return -rc;
       }
       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.
