avc_compute_create(3)     SELinux API documentation    avc_compute_create(3)

NAME         top

       avc_compute_create, avc_compute_member - obtain SELinux label for new
       object

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <selinux/selinux.h>
       #include <selinux/avc.h>

       int avc_compute_create(security_id_t ssid, security_id_t tsid,
                              security_class_t tclass, security_id_t
                              *newsid);

       int avc_compute_member(security_id_t ssid, security_id_t tsid,
                              security_class_t tclass, security_id_t
                              *newsid);

DESCRIPTION         top

       avc_compute_create() is used to compute a SID to use for labeling a
       new object in a particular class based on a SID pair.  This call is
       identical to security_compute_create(), but does not require
       converting from userspace SID's to contexts and back again.

       avc_compute_member() is used to compute a SID to use for labeling a
       polyinstantiated object instance of a particular class based on a SID
       pair.  This call is identical to security_compute_member(), but does
       not require converting from userspace SID's to contexts and back
       again.

       These functions return a SID for the computed context in the memory
       referenced by sid.

RETURN VALUE         top

       On success, zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned and errno is
       set appropriately.

ERRORS         top

       EINVAL The tclass and/or the security contexts referenced by ssid and
              tsid are not recognized by the currently loaded policy.

       ENOMEM An attempt to allocate memory failed.
