The following delete function is supported for any semanage record. Replace the function and object name as necessary.extern int DELETE_FUNCTION (semanage_handle_t *handle,const semanage_OBJECT_key_t *key);
Behavior: The delete function will remove the object corresponding to the provided key from the local store. If no match is found, no action is taken. Changes will become permanent whensemanage_commit(3) is invoked. Additional checks may be performed at that time to ensure the system is left in a valid state.Parameters: Thehandle is used to track persistent state across semanage calls, and for error reporting. Thekey identifies thedata object, which will be deleted from the local store. The key is a property of the caller, and will not be stored or modified internally.Requirements: This function requires an semanage connection to be established (seesemanage_connect(3) ), and must be executed in a transaction (seesemanage_begin_transaction(3) ).
In case of failure, -1 is returned, and the semanage error callback is invoked, describing the error. Otherwise 0 is returned.
