- 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 "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
Security ID's (SID's) are opaque representations of security contexts, managed by the userspace AVC.
|
|
|
|
.BR avc_context_to_sid ()
|
|
returns a SID for the given
|
|
.I context
|
|
in the memory referenced by
|
|
.IR sid .
|
|
|
|
.BR avc_sid_to_context ()
|
|
returns a copy of the context represented by
|
|
.I sid
|
|
in the memory referenced by
|
|
.IR ctx .
|
|
The user must free the copy with
|
|
.BR freecon (3).
|
|
|
|
.BR avc_get_initial_sid ()
|
|
returns a SID for the kernel initial security identifier specified by
|
|
.IR name .
|
|
.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
.BR avc_context_to_sid ()
|
|
and
|
|
.BR avc_sid_to_context ()
|
|
return zero on success. On error, \-1 is returned and
|
|
.I errno
|
|
is set appropriately.
|
|

|
|
.SH "ERRORS"
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B ENOMEM
|
|
An attempt to allocate memory failed.
|
|
.SH "NOTES"
|
|
As of libselinux version 2.0.86, SID's are no longer reference counted. A SID will be valid from the time it is first obtained until the next call to
|
|
.BR avc_destroy (3).
|
|
The
|
|
.BR sidget (3)
|
|
and
|
|
.BR sidput (3)
|
|
functions, formerly used to adjust the reference count, are no-ops and are deprecated.
