NAME         top

       security_disable - disable the SELinux kernel code at runtime

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <selinux/selinux.h>
       int security_disable(void);

DESCRIPTION         top

       security_disable() disables the SELinux kernel code, unregisters
       selinuxfs from /proc/filesystems, and then unmounts /sys/fs/selinux.
       This function can only be called at runtime and prior to the initial
       policy load. After the initial policy load, the SELinux kernel code
       cannot be disabled, but only placed in "permissive" mode by using
       security_setenforce(3).

RETURN VALUE         top

       security_disable() returns zero on success or -1 on error.
