NAME

       sepol_check_context - Check the validity of a security context
       against a binary policy.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sepol/sepol.h>

       int sepol_check_context(const char *context);

       int sepol_set_policydb_from_file(FILE *fp);

DESCRIPTION

       sepol_check_context checks the validity of a security context
       against a binary policy previously loaded from a file via
       sepol_set_policydb_from_file.  It is used by setfiles -c to
       validate a file contexts configuration against the binary policy
       upon policy builds.  For validating a context against the active
       policy on a SELinux system, use security_check_context from
       libselinux instead.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns 0 on success or -1 with errno set otherwise.
