set_matchpathcon_flags(3)  SELinux API documentation set_matchpathcon_flags(3)

NAME
       set_matchpathcon_flags,   set_matchpathcon_invalidcon,   set_matchpath-
       con_printf - set flags controlling the  operation  of  matchpathcon  or
       matchpathcon_index and configure the behaviour of validity checking and
       error displaying

SYNOPSIS
       #include <selinux/selinux.h>

       void set_matchpathcon_flags(unsigned int flags);

       void set_matchpathcon_invalidcon(int (*f)(const  char  *path,  unsigned
       lineno, char *context));

       void set_matchpathcon_printf(void (*f)(const char *fmt, ...));

DESCRIPTION
       set_matchpathcon_flags()  sets  the  flags controlling the operation of
       matchpathcon_init(3) and subsequently matchpathcon_index(3)  or  match-
       pathcon(3).   If  the  MATCHPATHCON_BASEONLY flag is set, then only the
       base file contexts configuration file will be processed, not any dynam-
       ically generated entries or local customizations.

       set_matchpathcon_invalidcon()  sets  the  function  used  by matchpath-
       con_init(3) when checking the validity of a context in  the  file  con-
       texts configuration.  If not set, then this defaults to a test based on
       security_check_context(3), which checks  validity  against  the  active
       policy  on a SELinux system.  This can be set to instead perform check-
       ing based on a binary policy file, e.g.  using  sepol_check_context(3),
       as  is  done  by setfiles -c.  The function is also responsible for re-
       porting any such error, and may include the path and lineno in such er-
       ror messages.

       set_matchpathcon_printf()   sets   the   function  used  by  matchpath-
       con_init(3) when displaying errors about the file  contexts  configura-
       tion.   If  not  set,  then this defaults to fprintf(stderr, fmt, ...).
       This can be set to redirect error reporting to a different destination.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns zero on success or -1 otherwise.
