When the flag CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC is set, close_range doesn't immediately close the files but it sets the close-on-exec bit. It is useful for e.g. container runtimes that usually install a seccomp profile "as late as possible" before execv'ing the container process itself. The container runtime could either do: 1 2 - install_seccomp_profile(); - close_range(MIN_FD, MAX_INT, 0); - close_range(MIN_FD, MAX_INT, 0); - install_seccomp_profile(); - execve(...); - execve(...); Both alternative have some disadvantages. In the first variant the seccomp_profile cannot block the close_range syscall, as well as opendir/read/close/... for the fallback on older kernels. In the second variant, close_range() can be used only on the fds that are not going to be needed by the runtime anymore, and it must be potentially called multiple times to account for the different ranges that must be closed. Using close_range(..., ..., CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC) solves these issues. The runtime is able to use the existing open fds, the seccomp profile can block close_range() and the syscalls used for its fallback.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
