selinux_policy_root() reads the contents of the /etc/selinux/config file to determine which policy files should be used for this machine. selinux_set_policy_root() sets up all all policy paths based on the alternate root /etc/selinux/config file to determine which policy files should be used for this machine.
On success, selinux_policy_root returns a directory path containing the SELinux policy files. On failure, selinux_policy_root returns NULL. On success, selinux_set_policy_root returns 0 on success -1 on failure.
