NAME
sepol_check_context - Check the validity of a security context against
a binary policy.
SYNOPSIS
#include <sepol/sepol.h>
int sepol_check_context(const char *context);
int sepol_set_policydb_from_file(FILE *fp);
DESCRIPTION
sepol_check_context checks the validity of a security context against a
binary policy previously loaded from a file via sepol_set_poli-
cydb_from_file. It is used by setfiles -c to validate a file contexts
configuration against the binary policy upon policy builds. For vali-
dating a context against the active policy on a SELinux system, use
security_check_context from libselinux instead.
RETURN VALUE
Returns 0 on success or -1 with errno set otherwise.
