 ## Motivation and Background
 exile.h unlocks existing Linux mechanisms to facilite isolation of processes from resources. Limiting the scope of what programs can do helps defending the rest of the system when a process gets under attacker's control (when classic mitigations such as ASLR etc. failed). To this end, OpenBSD has the pledge() and unveil() functions available. Those functions are helpful mitigation mechanisms, but such accessible ways are unfortunately not readily available on Linux. This is where exile.h steps in.
 
-Seccomp allows to restrict system calls available to a process and thus decrease the systems attack surface, but it generally is not easy to use. Requiring BPF filter instructions, you generally just can't make use of it right away. exile.h provides an API inspired by pledge(), building on top of seccomp. It also provides an interface to manually restrict the system calls that can be issued.

 Traditional methods employed to restrict file system access, like different uids/gids, chroot, bind-mounts, namespaces etc. may require administrator intervention, are perhaps only suitable
 for daemons and not desktop applications, or are generally rather involved. As a positive example, Landlock since 5.13  is a vast improvement to limit file system access of processes. It also greatly simplifies exile.h' implementation of fs isolation.
