.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.B getfilecon
|
|
retrieves the context associated with the given path in the file system, the
|
|
length of the context is returned.
|
|
|
|
.B lgetfilecon
|
|
is identical to getfilecon, except in the case of a symbolic link, where the
|
|
link itself is interrogated, not the file that it refers to.
|
|
|
|
.B fgetfilecon
|
|
is identical to getfilecon, only the open file pointed to by filedes (as
|
|
returned by open(2)) is interrogated in place of path.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The returned context should be freed with freecon 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 errno is set
|
|
appropriately.
|
|
|
|
If the context does not exist, or the process has no access to
|
|
this attribute, errno is set to ENODATA.
|
|
|
|
If extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are dis\-
|
|
abled, errno is set to ENOTSUP.
|
|
|
|
The errors documented for the stat(2) system call are also applicable
|
|
here.
