We may want to fold this into `sodium_mprotect_*()` instead of exposing these functions. The drawback is that a transition from PROT_NONE to PROT_READ (or the other way round) would need an intermediary state in PROT_WRITE for shielding/unshielding. Shielding is also not thread-safe, while the `mprotect_*()` functions are, and adding locks would make things more complicated than they probably should.
Sodium is a new, easy-to-use software library for encryption, decryption, signatures, password hashing and more.
It is a portable, cross-compilable, installable, packageable fork of NaCl, with a compatible API, and an extended API to improve usability even further.
Its goal is to provide all of the core operations needed to build higher-level cryptographic tools.
Sodium supports a variety of compilers and operating systems, including Windows (with MingW or Visual Studio, x86 and x64), iOS, Android, as well as Javascript and Webassembly.
