NAME
context_new, context_str, context_free, context_type_get, context_type_set, context_range_get, context_range_set,context_role_get,
context_role_set, context_user_get, context_user_set - Routines to
manipulate SELinux security contexts
SYNOPSIS
#include <selinux/context.h> context_t context_new(const char * context_str ); const char * context_str(context_t con ); void context_free(context_t con ); const char * context_type_get(context_t con ); const char * context_range_get(context_t con ); const char * context_role_get(context_t con ); const char * context_user_get(context_t con ); const char * context_type_set(context_t con , const char* type); const char * context_range_set(context_t con , const char* range); const char * context_role_set(context_t con , const char* role ); const char * context_user_set(context_t con , const char* user );
DESCRIPTION
These functions allow an application to manipulate the fields of a
security context string without requiring it to know the format of the
string.
- context_new
- Return a new context initialized to a context string
- context_str Return a pointer to the string value of the context_t Valid until the next call to context_str or context_free for the same context_t*
- context_free Free the storage used by a context
- context_type_get, context_range_get, context_role_get, context_user_get Get a pointer to the string value of a context component
- NOTE: Values returned by the get functions are only valid until the next call to a set function or context_free() for the same context_t structure.
- context_type_set, context_range_set, context_role_set, context_user_set Set a context component
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On failure, -1 is returned and errno is
set appropriately.
