selinux_file_context_verify(3)ary Functions Manualnux_file_context_verify(3)
selinux_file_context_verify - Compare the SELinux security context on
disk to the default security context required by the policy file con‐
texts file
#include <selinux/selinux.h>
int selinux_file_context_verify(const char *path, mode_t mode);
selinux_file_context_verify() compares the context of the specified
path that is held on disk (in the extended attribute), to the system
default entry held in the file contexts series of files.
The mode may be zero.
Note that the two contexts are compared for "significant" differences
(i.e. the user component of the contexts are ignored) as shown in the
EXAMPLE section.
If the contexts significantly match, 1 (one) is returned.
If the contexts do not match 0 (zero) is returned and errno is set to
either ENOENT or EINVAL for the reasons listed in the ERRORS section,
or if errno = 0 then the contexts did not match.
On failure -1 is returned and errno set appropriately.
ENOTSUP
if extended attributes are not supported by the file system.
ENOENT if there is no entry in the file contexts series of files or
path does not exist.
EINVAL if the entry in the file contexts series of files or path are
invalid, or the returned context fails validation.
ENOMEM if attempt to allocate memory failed.
The following configuration files (the file contexts series of files)
supporting the active policy will be used (should they exist) to
determine the path default context:
contexts/files/file_contexts - This file must exist.
contexts/files/file_contexts.local - If exists has local
customizations.
contexts/files/file_contexts.homedirs - If exists has users
home directory customizations.
contexts/files/file_contexts.subs - If exists has
substitutions that are then applied to the 'in memory' version
of the file contexts files.
If the files context is:
unconfined_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0
and the default context defined in the file contexts file is:
system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0
then the actual strings compared are:
:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 and :object_r:admin_home_t:s0
Therefore they will match and selinux_file_context_verify() will
return 1.
