.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B sepol_check_context
checks the validity of a security context against a binary policy
previously loaded from a file via

It is used by

upon policy builds. For validating a context against the active
policy on a SELinux system, use
.B security_check_context
from libselinux instead.
