NAME        top

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

SYNOPSIS        top

#include <selinux/selinux.h>void set_matchpathcon_flags(unsigned intflags);void set_matchpathcon_invalidcon(int (*f)(const char *path,unsignedlineno, char *context));void set_matchpathcon_printf(void (*f)(const char *fmt, ...));

DESCRIPTION        top

set_matchpathcon_flags() sets the flags controlling the operation       ofmatchpathcon_init(3) and subsequentlymatchpathcon_index(3) ormatchpathcon(3).  If theMATCHPATHCON_BASEONLYflag is set, then       only the base file contexts configuration file will be processed,       not any dynamically generated entries or local customizations.set_matchpathcon_invalidcon() sets the function used bymatchpathcon_init(3) when checking the validity of a context in       the file contexts configuration.  If not set, then this defaults       to a test based onsecurity_check_context(3), which checks       validity against the active policy on a SELinux system.  This can       be set to instead perform checking based on a binary policy file,       e.g. usingsepol_check_context(3), as is done bysetfiles -c.The       function is also responsible for reporting any such error, and may       include thepath andlineno in such error messages.set_matchpathcon_printf() sets the function used bymatchpathcon_init(3) when displaying errors about the file       contexts configuration.  If not set, then this defaults to       fprintf(stderr, fmt, ...).  This can be set to redirect error       reporting to a different destination.

RETURN VALUE        top

       Returns zero on success or -1 otherwise.
