security_check_context(3)

security_check_context3

Check the validity of a selinux context

Usage

#include <selinux/selinux.h>

int security_check_context(const char *con);

int security_check_context_raw(const char *con);

Overview

security_check_context() returns 0 if SELinux is running and the context is valid, otherwise it returns -1.

security_check_context_raw() behaves identically to security_check_context() but does not perform context translation.
