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.
