DESCRIPTION         top

       get_ordered_context_list() invokes the security_compute_user(3)
       function to obtain the list of contexts for the specified user that
       are reachable from the specified fromcon context.  The function then
       orders the resulting list based on the global
       /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/default_contexts file and the
       per-user /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/users/<username> file if
       it exists.  The fromcon parameter may be NULL to indicate that the
       current context should be used.  The function returns the number of
       contexts in the list, or -1 upon errors.  The list must be freed
       using the freeconary(3) function.
       get_ordered_context_list_with_level() invokes the
       get_ordered_context_list() function and applies the specified level.
       get_default_context() is the same as get_ordered_context_list() but
       only returns a single context which has to be freed with freecon(3).
       get_default_context_with_level() invokes the get_default_context()
       function and applies the specified level.
       get_default_context_with_role() is the same as get_default_context()
       but only returns a context with the specified role, returning -1 if
       no such context is reachable for the user.
       get_default_context_with_rolelevel() invokes the
       get_default_context_with_role() function and applies the specified
       level.
       query_user_context() takes a list of contexts, queries the user via
       stdin/stdout as to which context they want, and returns a new context
       as selected by the user (which has to be freed with freecon(3)).
       manual_user_enter_context() allows the user to manually enter a
       context as a fallback if a list of authorized contexts could not be
       obtained. Caller must free via freecon(3).
       get_default_type() Get the default type (domain) for role and set
       type to refer to it, which has to be freed with free.

RETURN VALUE         top

       get_ordered_context_list() and get_ordered_context_list_with_level()
       return the number of contexts in the list upon success or -1 upon
       errors.  The other functions return 0 for success or -1 for errors.
