.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.B #include <selinux/selinux.h>
.sp
.BI "void selinux_set_callback(int " type ", union selinux_callback " callback ");"
.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.BR selinux_set_callback ()
sets the callback indicated by
.I type
to the value of
.IR callback ,
which should be passed as a function pointer cast to type
.B union
.BR selinux_callback .

All callback functions should return a negative value with
.I errno
set appropriately on error.

The available values for 
.I type
are:
.TP
.B SELINUX_CB_LOG
.BI "int (*" func_log ") (int " type ", const char *" fmt ", ...);"

This callback is used for logging and should process the 
.BR printf (3)
style 
.I fmt
string and arguments as appropriate.  The
.I type
argument indicates the type of message and will be set to one of the following:

.B SELINUX_ERROR

.B SELINUX_WARNING

.B SELINUX_INFO

.B SELINUX_AVC
.
.TP
.B SELINUX_CB_AUDIT
.BI "int (*" func_audit ") (void *" auditdata ", security_class_t " cls ,
.in +\w'int (*func_audit) ('u
.BI "char *" msgbuf ", size_t " msgbufsize ");"
.in

This callback is used for supplemental auditing in AVC messages.  The
.I auditdata
and
.I cls
arguments are the values passed to
.BR avc_has_perm (3).
A human-readable interpretation should be printed to
.I msgbuf
using no more than
.I msgbufsize
characters.
.
.TP
.B SELINUX_CB_VALIDATE
.BI "int (*" func_validate ") (security_context_t *" ctx ");"

This callback is used for context validation.  The callback may optionally modify the input context by setting the target of the 
.I ctx
pointer to a new context.  In this case, the old value should be freed with
.BR freecon (3).
The value of
.I errno
should be set to
.B EINVAL
to indicate an invalid context.
.
.TP
.B SELINUX_CB_SETENFORCE
.BI "int (*" func_setenforce ") (int " enforcing ");"

This callback is invoked when the system enforcing state changes.
The
.I enforcing
argument indicates the new value and is set to
.I 1
for enforcing mode, and
.I 0
for permissive mode.
.
.TP
.B SELINUX_CB_POLICYLOAD
.BI "int (*" func_policyload ") (int " seqno ");"

This callback is invoked when the system security policy is reloaded.
The
.I seqno
argument is the current sequential number of the policy generation in the system.
.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
None.
.
.SH "ERRORS"
