NAME

       sepol_genusers  -  Generate a new binary policy image with a customized
       user configuration

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sepol/sepol.h>

       int sepol_genusers(void *data, size_t len, const char  *usersdir,  void
       *newdata, size_t *newlen);

       void sepol_set_delusers(int on);

DESCRIPTION

       sepol_genusers  generates  a  new  binary policy image from an existing
       binary policy image stored  in  the  memory  region  described  by  the
       starting   address  data  and  the  length  len  and  a  pair  of  user
       configuration  files  named  system.users  and  local.users  from   the
       directory specified by usersdir.  The resulting binary policy is placed
       into dynamically allocated memory and the variables newdata and  newlen
       are set to refer to the new binary image’s starting address and length.
       The original binary policy image is not modified.

       By default, sepol_genusers will preserve user entries that are  defined
       in  the  original  binary  policy  image  but  not  defined in the user
       configuration files.  If such user entries should  instead  by  omitted
       entirely  from the new binary policy image, then the sepol_set_delusers
       function may be called with on set to 1 prior to calling sepol_genusers
       in order to enable deletion of such users.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns 0 on success or -1 otherwise, with errno set appropriately.  An
       errno of ENOENT indicates that one or both of  the  user  configuration
       files  did  not  exist.   An  errno of EINVAL indicates that either the
       original binary policy image or the generated  one  were  invalid.   An
       errno  of  ENOMEM  indicates  that insufficient memory was available to
       process the original binary policy image or to generate the new  policy
       image.   Invalid  entries  in  the user configuration files are skipped
       with a warning.
