NAME¶
setfilecon, fsetfilecon, lsetfilecon - set SELinux security context of a file
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <selinux/selinux.h>
int setfilecon(const char *path, security_context_t
con);
int lsetfilecon(const char *path, security_context_t
con);
int fsetfilecon(int fd, security_context_t
con);
DESCRIPTION¶
setfilecon sets the security context of the file system object.
lsetfilecon is identical to setfilecon, except in the case of a symbolic
link, where the link itself has it's context set, not the file that it refers
to.
fsetfilecon is identical to setfilecon, only the open file pointed to by
filedes (as returned by
open(2)) has it's context set in place of path.
RETURN VALUE¶
On success, zero is returned. On failure, -1 is returned and errno is set
appropriately.
If there is insufficient space remaining to store the extended attribute, errno
is set to either ENOSPC, or EDQUOT if quota enforce- ment was the cause.
If extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are dis- abled,
errno is set to ENOTSUP.
The errors documented for the
stat(2) system call are also applicable here.
