- 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"
|
|
.BR getexeccon ()
|
|
retrieves the context used for executing a new process.
|
|
This returned context should be freed with
|
|
.BR freecon (3)
|
|
if non-NULL.
|
|
.BR getexeccon ()
|
|
sets
|
|
.BI * context
|
|
to NULL if no exec context has been explicitly
|
|
set by the program (i.e. using the default policy behavior).
|
|
|
|
.BR setexeccon ()
|
|
sets the context used for the next
|
|
.BR execve (2)
|
|
call.
|
|
NULL can be passed to
|
|
.BR setexeccon ()
|
|
to reset to the default policy behavior.
|
|
The exec context is automatically reset after the next
|
|
.BR execve (2),
|
|
so a program doesn't need to explicitly sanitize it upon startup.
|
|
|
|
.BR setexeccon ()
|
|
can be applied prior to library
|
|
functions that internally perform an
|
|
.BR execve (2),
|
|
e.g.
|
|
.BR execl *(3),
|
|
.BR execv *(3),
|
|
.BR popen (3),
|
|
in order to set an exec context for that operation.
|
|
|
|
.B Note:
|
|
Signal handlers that perform an
|
|
.BR execve (2)
|
|
must take care to
|
|
save, reset, and restore the exec context to avoid unexpected behavior.
|
|
|
|
.BR rpm_execcon ()
|
|
runs a helper for rpm in an appropriate security context. The
|
|
verified parameter should contain the return code from the signature
|
|
verification (0 == ok, 1 == notfound, 2 == verifyfail, 3 ==
|
|
nottrusted, 4 == nokey), although this information is not yet used by
|
|
the function. The function determines the proper security context for
|
|
the helper based on policy, sets the exec context accordingly, and
|
|
then executes the specified filename with the provided argument and
|
|
environment arrays.
|
|
.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
On error \-1 is returned.
|
|
|
|
On success
|
|
.BR getexeccon ()
|
|
and
|
|
.BR setexeccon ()
|
|
returns 0.
|
|
.BR rpm_execcon ()
|
|
only returns upon errors, as it calls
|
|
.BR execve (2).
