+Quiet rule flag (ABI < 10)
+--------------------------
+
+Starting with the Landlock ABI version 10, it is possible to selectively
+suppress logs for specific denied accesses on a per-object basis with
+the ``LANDLOCK_ADD_RULE_QUIET`` flag of sys_landlock_add_rule(), in
+combination with the ``quiet_access_fs`` and ``quiet_access_net`` fields
+of struct landlock_ruleset_attr. It is also now possible to suppress
+logs for scope accesses via the ``quiet_scoped`` field of struct
+landlock_ruleset_attr. The object is marked as quiet within a ruleset
+when at least one sys_landlock_add_rule() call is made for it with the
+``LANDLOCK_ADD_RULE_QUIET`` flag, additional add-rule calls for the same
+object without this flag do not clear it.

+ *
+ * If logging is enabled, when Landlock denies an access, it will

+ *
+ * - this layer is the innermost layer that denied the access;
+ * - all accesses denied by this layer are part of the quiet_* fields
+ * in the related struct landlock_ruleset_attr;
+ * - the object (or one of its parents, for filesystem rules) is
+ * marked as "quiet" via %LANDLOCK_ADD_RULE_QUIET.
+ *
+ * Because logging is only suppressed by a layer if the layer denies
+ * access, a sandboxed program cannot use this flag to "hide" access
+ * denials, without denying itself the access in the first place.
+ *
+ * The effect of this flag does not depend on the value of
