       selinux_set_callback - userspace SELinux callback facilities

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <selinux/selinux.h>
       void selinux_set_callback(int type, union selinux_callback callback);

DESCRIPTION         top

       selinux_set_callback() sets the callback indicated by type to the
       value of callback, which should be passed as a function pointer cast
       to type union selinux_callback.
       All callback functions should return a negative value with errno set
       appropriately on error.
       The available values for type are:
       SELINUX_CB_LOG
              int (*func_log) (int type, const char *fmt, ...);
              This callback is used for logging and should process the
              printf(3) style fmt string and arguments as appropriate.  The
              type argument indicates the type of message and will be set to
              one of the following:
              SELINUX_ERROR
              SELINUX_WARNING
              SELINUX_INFO
              SELINUX_AVC
       SELINUX_CB_AUDIT
              int (*func_audit) (void *auditdata, security_class_t cls,
                                 char *msgbuf, size_t msgbufsize);
              This callback is used for supplemental auditing in AVC
              messages.  The auditdata and cls arguments are the values
              passed to avc_has_perm(3).  A human-readable interpretation
              should be printed to msgbuf using no more than msgbufsize
              characters.
       SELINUX_CB_VALIDATE
              int (*func_validate) (char **ctx);
              This callback is used for context validation.  The callback
              may optionally modify the input context by setting the target
              of the ctx pointer to a new context.  In this case, the old
              value should be freed with freecon(3).  The value of errno
              should be set to EINVAL to indicate an invalid context.
       SELINUX_CB_SETENFORCE
              int (*func_setenforce) (int enforcing);
              This callback is invoked when the system enforcing state
              changes.  The enforcing argument indicates the new value and
              is set to 1 for enforcing mode, and 0 for permissive mode.
       SELINUX_CB_POLICYLOAD
              int (*func_policyload) (int seqno);
              This callback is invoked when the system security policy is
              reloaded.  The seqno argument is the current sequential number
              of the policy generation in the system.
