NAME
semanage_query - SELinux Management API
SYNOPSIS
The following query function is supported for any semanage
record.
Replace the function and object name as necessary.
extern int QUERY_FUNCTION (
semanage_handle_t *handle,
const semanage_OBJECT_key_t *key,
semanage_OBJECT_t **response);
DESCRIPTION
Behavior:
The query function will fail if a matching key is not
found. Otherwise, the corresponding object is returned.
Parameters:
The handle is used to track persistent state across
semanage calls, and for error reporting. The key
identifies the object being queried, which will be stored
in the address pointed by response The key is a property
of the caller, and will not be stored or modified
internally. The object returned becomes a property of the
caller, and must be freed with semanage_OBJECT_free.
Requirements:
This function requires an semanage connection to be
established (see semanage_connect(3) )
RETURN VALUE
In case of failure, -1 is returned, and the semanage error
callback is invoked, describing the error. Otherwise a non-
negative integer is returned (a commit number). The same number
will be returned by all other semanage object read calls until
the next commit.
