- Add man page sections '(N)' to external references, and '()' on
functions described in the same man page.
- Escape minus signs when those are expected to be used on the command
line or files.
- Mark files and variables in italic; Note headings, function names,
constants, program options and man page references in bold.
- Do not justify and hyphenate SEE ALSO section, and avoid hyphenation
on symbol names by prepending them with \%.
- Remove trailing dot from NAME section description.
- Split sections with a no-op command '.', to visually distinguish them
but to avoid introducing spurious vertical space in the formatted
output.
- Add explicit .sp commands in the SYNOPSIS section between function
prototypes, and fix space placement in function protoypes.
- Split header includes with .br (instead of the explicit or implicit
.sp) so that they are vertically contiguous.
- Add missing {} around SELINUXTYPE and POLICYTYPE variable text in
paths.
- Remove unneeded formatting commands.
- Remove spurious blank lines.

.SH "NAME"
|
|
selinux_file_context_verify \- Compare the SELinux security context on disk to the default security context required by the policy file contexts file
|
|
.
|
|
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
|
|
.B #include <selinux/selinux.h>
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "int selinux_file_context_verify(const char *" path ", mode_t " mode ");"
|
|
.
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.BR selinux_file_context_verify ()
|
|
compares the context of the specified
|
|
.I path
|
|
that is held on disk (in the extended attribute), to the system default entry held in the file contexts series of files.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The
|
|
.I mode
|
|
may be zero.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Note that the two contexts are compared for "significant" differences (i.e. the user component of the contexts are ignored) as shown in the
|
|
.B EXAMPLE
|
|
section.
|
|
.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
If the contexts significantly match, 1 (one) is returned.
|
|
.sp
|
|
If the contexts do not match 0 (zero) is returned and
|
|
.I errno
|
|
is set to either
|
|
.B ENOENT
|
|
or
|
|
.B EINVAL
|
|
for the reasons listed in the
|
|
.B ERRORS
|
|
section, or if
|
|
.I errno
|
|
= 0 then the contexts did not match.
|
|
.sp
|
|
On failure \-1 is returned and
|
|
.I errno
|
|
set appropriately.
|
|
.
|
|
.SH "ERRORS"
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B ENOTSUP
|
|
if extended attributes are not supported by the file system.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B ENOENT
|
|
if there is no entry in the file contexts series of files or
|
|
.I path
|
|
does not exist.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B EINVAL
|
|
if the entry in the file contexts series of files or
|
|
.I path
|
|
are invalid, or the returned context fails validation.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B ENOMEM
|
|
if attempt to allocate memory failed.
|
|
.
|
|
.SH "FILES"
|
|
The following configuration files (the file contexts series of files) supporting the active policy will be used (should they exist) to determine the
|
|
.I path
|
|
default context:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.RS
|
|
.I contexts/files/file_contexts
|
|
- This file must exist.
|
|
.sp
|
|
.I contexts/files/file_contexts.local
|
|
- If exists has local customizations.
|
|
.sp
|
|
.I contexts/files/file_contexts.homedirs
|
|
- If exists has users home directory customizations.
|
|
.sp
|
|
.I contexts/files/file_contexts.subs
|
|
- If exists has substitutions that are then applied to the 'in memory' version of the file contexts files.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.
|
|
.SH "EXAMPLE"
|
|
If the files context is:
|
|
.RS
|
|
unconfined_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0
|
|
.RE
|
|
.sp
|
|
and the default context defined in the file contexts file is:
|
|
.RS
|
|
system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0
|
|
.RE
|
|
.sp
|
|
then the actual strings compared are:
|
|
.RS
|
|
:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 and :object_r:admin_home_t:s0
|
|
.RE
|
|
.sp
|
|
Therefore they will match and
|
|
.BR selinux_file_context_verify ()
|
|
will return 1.
