.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.BR selabel_open ()
|
|
is used to initialize a labeling handle to be used for lookup operations. The
|
|
.I backend
|
|
argument specifies which backend is to be opened; the list of current backends appears in
|
|
.B BACKENDS
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.I options
|
|
argument should be NULL or a pointer to an array of
|
|
.B selinux_opt
|
|
structures of length
|
|
.IR nopt :

The available option types are described in
|
|
.B GLOBAL OPTIONS
|
|
below as well as in the documentation for each individual backend. The return value on success is a non-NULL value for use in subsequent label operations.
|
|
|
|
.BR selabel_close ()
|
|
terminates use of a handle, freeing any internal resources associated with it. After this call has been made, the handle must not be used again.
|
|
.
|
|
.SH "GLOBAL OPTIONS"
|
|
Global options which may be passed to
|
|
.BR selabel_open ()
|
|
include the following:
|
|
.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B SELABEL_OPT_UNUSED
|
|
The option with a type code of zero is a no-op. Thus an array of options may be initizalized to zero and any untouched elements will not cause an error.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B SELABEL_OPT_VALIDATE
|
|
A non-null value for this option enables context validation. By default,
|
|
.BR security_check_context (3)
|
|
is used; a custom validation function can be provided via
|
|
.BR selinux_set_callback (3).
|
|
Note that an invalid context may not be treated as an error unless it is actually encountered during a lookup operation.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B SELABEL_OPT_DIGEST
|
|
A non-null value for this option enables the generation of an SHA1 digest of
|
|
the spec files loaded as described in
|
|
.BR selabel_digest (3)
|
|
.
|
|
.SH "BACKENDS"
|

.B SELABEL_CTX_FILE
|
|
File contexts backend, described in

|
.BR selabel_file (5).

.B SELABEL_CTX_MEDIA
|
|

|
|
.BR selabel_db (5).
|
|
.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
A non-NULL handle value is returned on success. On error, NULL is returned and
|
|
.I errno
|
|
is set appropriately.
