set_matchpathcon_flags(3) SELinux API documentation set_matchpathcon_flags(3)NAME
set_matchpathcon_flags, set_matchpathcon_invalidcon, set_matchpath‐
con_printf - set flags controlling the operation of matchpathcon or
matchpathcon_index and configure the behaviour of validity checking and
error displaying
SYNOPSIS
#include <selinux/selinux.h>
void set_matchpathcon_flags(unsigned int flags);
void set_matchpathcon_invalidcon(int (*f)(const char *path, unsigned
lineno, char *context));
void set_matchpathcon_printf(void (*f)(const char *fmt, ...));
DESCRIPTIONset_matchpathcon_flags() sets the flags controlling the operation of
matchpathcon_init(3) and subsequently matchpathcon_index(3) or match‐
pathcon(3). If the MATCHPATHCON_BASEONLY flag is set, then only the
base file contexts configuration file will be processed, not any dynam‐
ically generated entries or local customizations.
set_matchpathcon_invalidcon() sets the function used by matchpath‐
con_init(3) when checking the validity of a context in the file con‐
texts configuration. If not set, then this defaults to a test based on
security_check_context(3), which checks validity against the active
policy on a SELinux system. This can be set to instead perform check‐
ing based on a binary policy file, e.g. using sepol_check_context(3),
as is done by setfiles -c. The function is also responsible for
reporting any such error, and may include the path and lineno in such
error messages.
set_matchpathcon_printf() sets the function used by matchpath‐
con_init(3) when displaying errors about the file contexts configura‐
tion. If not set, then this defaults to fprintf(stderr, fmt, ...).
This can be set to redirect error reporting to a different destination.
RETURN VALUE
Returns zero on success or -1 otherwise.
