Changes since v1:
* Replace all ".I" with ".IR", except when used for titles.
* Append punctuation to ".IR" and ".BR" when it makes sense (requested
  by Alejandro Colomar).
* Cut lines according to the semantic newline rules (requested by
  Alejandro Colomar).
* Remove roman style from ".TP" section titles (requested by Alejandro
  Colomar).
* Add comma after "i.e." and "e.g.".
* Add a "CONFORMING TO" section.
* Replace "(2)" with "()" for the described syscall name.

+.TH LANDLOCK_CREATE_RULESET 2 2021-06-27 Linux "Linux Programmer's Manual"
+.SH NAME
+landlock_create_ruleset \- create a new Landlock ruleset
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.BR "#include <linux/landlock.h>" "  /* Definition of " LANDLOCK_* " constants */"
+.BR "#include <sys/syscall.h>" "     /* Definition of " SYS_* " constants */"
+.PP
+.BI "int syscall(SYS_landlock_create_ruleset,
+.BI "            const struct landlock_ruleset_attr " attr ,
+.BI "            size_t " size " , __u32 " flags );
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+A Landlock ruleset identifies a set of rules (i.e., actions on objects).
+This
+.BR landlock_create_ruleset ()
+system call enables creating a new file descriptor identifying a ruleset.
+This file descriptor can then be used by
+.BR landlock_add_rule (2)
+and
+.BR landlock_restrict_self (2).
+See
+.BR landlock (7)
+for a global overview.
+.PP
+.IR attr
+specifies the properties of the new ruleset.
+It points to the following structure:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct landlock_ruleset_attr {
+	__u64 handled_access_fs;
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+.IR handled_access_fs
+is a bitmask of actions that is handled by this ruleset and should then be
+forbidden if no rule explicitly allow them
+(see
+.BR "Filesystem actions"
+in
+.BR landlock (7)).
+This enables simply restricting ambient rights
+(e.g., global filesystem access) and is needed for compatibility reasons.
+.PP
+.IR size
+must be specified as
+.IR "sizeof(struct landlock_ruleset_attr)"
+for compatibility reasons.
+.PP
+.IR flags
+must be 0 if
+.IR attr
+is used.
+Otherwise,
+.IR flags
+can be set to:
+.TP
+.B LANDLOCK_CREATE_RULESET_VERSION
+If
+.IR attr
+is NULL and
+.IR size
+is 0, then the returned value is the highest supported Landlock ABI version
+(starting at 1).
+This version can be used for a best-effort security approach,
+which is encouraged when user space is not pinned to a specific kernel
+version.
+All features documented in these man pages are available with the version
+1.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success,
+.BR landlock_create_ruleset ()
+returns a new Landlock ruleset file descriptor, or a Landlock ABI version
+according to
+.IR flags .
+.SH ERRORS
+.BR landlock_create_ruleset ()
+can failed for the following reasons:
+.TP
+.B EOPNOTSUPP
+Landlock is supported by the kernel but disabled at boot time.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+Unknown
+.IR flags ,
+or unknown access, or too small
+.IR size .
+.TP
+.B E2BIG
+.IR size
+is too big.
+.TP
+.B EFAULT
+.IR attr
+was not a valid address.
+.TP
+.B ENOMSG
+Empty accesses (i.e.,
+.IR attr->handled_access_fs
+is 0).
+.SH VERSIONS
+Landlock was added in Linux 5.13.
+.SH CONFORMING TO
+This system call is Linux-specific.
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.BR landlock (7),
+.BR landlock_add_rule (2),
+.BR landlock_restrict_self (2)
