A seccomp filter may return any of the following values. If multiple
filters exist, the return value for the evaluation of a given system
call will always use the highest precedent value. (For example,
-``SECCOMP_RET_KILL_THREAD`` will always take precedence.)
+``SECCOMP_RET_KILL_PROCESS`` will always take precedence.)
