+	help
+	  This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
+	  that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
+	  execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
+	  the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
+	  syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
+	  their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
+	  enabled via prctl, it cannot be disabled and the task is only
+	  allowed to execute a few safe syscalls defined by each seccomp
+	  mode.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
