LSF is much simpler than BPF. One does not have to worry about
devices or anything like that. You simply create your filter
-code, send it to the kernel via the SO_ATTACH_FILTER ioctl and
+code, send it to the kernel via the SO_ATTACH_FILTER option and
if your filter code passes the kernel check on it, you then
immediately begin filtering data on that socket.
You can also detach filters from your socket via the
-SO_DETACH_FILTER ioctl. This will probably not be used much
+SO_DETACH_FILTER option. This will probably not be used much
since when you close a socket that has a filter on it the
filter is automagically removed. The other less common case
may be adding a different filter on the same socket where you had another
filter has passed the checks, otherwise if it fails the old filter
will remain on that socket.
+SO_LOCK_FILTER option allows to lock the filter attached to a
+socket. Once set, a filter cannot be removed or changed. This allows
+one process to setup a socket, attach a filter, lock it then drop
+privileges and be assured that the filter will be kept until the
+socket is closed.

setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_DETACH_FILTER, &value, sizeof(value));
+setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_LOCK_FILTER, &value, sizeof(value));
