- 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 getfilecon ()
|
|
retrieves the context associated with the given path in the file system, the
|
|
length of the context is returned.
|
|
|
|
.BR lgetfilecon ()
|
|
is identical to
|
|
.BR getfilecon (),
|
|
except in the case of a symbolic link, where the
|
|
link itself is interrogated, not the file that it refers to.
|
|
|
|
.BR fgetfilecon ()
|
|
is identical to
|
|
.BR getfilecon (),
|
|
only the open file pointed to by filedes (as returned by
|
|
.BR open (2))
|
|
is interrogated in place of path.
|
|
|
|
The returned context should be freed with
|
|
.BR freecon (3)
|
|
if non-NULL.
|
|
.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
On success, a positive number is returned indicating the size of the
|
|
extended attribute value. On failure, \-1 is returned and
|
|
.I errno
|
|
is set appropriately.
|
|
|
|
If the context does not exist, or the process has no access to
|
|
this attribute,
|
|
.I errno
|
|
is set to
|
|
.BR ENODATA .
|
|
|
|
If extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are
|
|
disabled,
|
|
.I errno
|
|
is set to
|
|
.BR ENOTSUP .
|
|
|
|
The errors documented for the
|
|
.BR stat (2)
|
|
system call are also applicable here.
