security_compute_av() queries whether the policy permits the source
context scon to access the target context tcon via class tclass with
the requested access vector. The decision is returned in avd.
security_compute_av_flags() is identical to security_compute_av but
additionally sets the flags field of avd. Currently one flag is
supported: SELINUX_AVD_FLAGS_PERMISSIVE, which indicates the decision
is computed on a permissive domain.
security_compute_create() is used to compute a context to use for
labeling a new object in a particular class based on a SID pair.
security_compute_create_name() is identical to
security_compute_create() but also takes name of the new object in
creation as an argument. When TYPE_TRANSITION rule on the given
class and a SID pair has object name extension, we shall be able to
obtain a correct newcon according to the security policy. Note that
this interface is only supported on the linux 2.6.40 or later. In
the older kernel, the object name will be simply ignored.
security_compute_relabel() is used to compute the new context to use
when relabeling an object, it is used in the pam_selinux.so source
and the newrole source to determine the correct label for the tty at
login time, but can be used for other things.
security_compute_member() is used to compute the context to use when
labeling a polyinstantiated object instance.
security_compute_user() is used to determine the set of user contexts
that can be reached from a source context. It is mainly used by
get_ordered_context_list().
security_get_initial_context() is used to get the context of a kernel
initial security identifier specified by name
security_compute_av_raw(), security_compute_av_flags_raw(),
security_compute_create_raw(), security_compute_create_name_raw(),
security_compute_relabel_raw(), security_compute_member_raw(),
security_compute_user_raw() and security_get_initial_context_raw()
behave identically to their non-raw counterparts but do not perform
context translation.
selinux_check_access() is used to check if the source context has the
access permission for the specified class on the target context.
selinux_check_passwd_access() is used to check for a permission in
the passwd class. selinux_check_passwd_access() uses getprevcon()
for the source and target security contexts.
checkPasswdAccess() is a deprecated alias of the
selinux_check_passwd_access() function.
Returns zero on success or -1 on error.
