NAME¶
getseuserbyname - get SELinux username and level for a given Linux username
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <selinux/selinux.h>
int getseuserbyname(const char *linuxuser, char
**selinuxuser, char **level);
DESCRIPTION¶
getseuserbyname retrieves the SELinux username and security level
associated with a given Linux username. The SELinux username and security
level can then be passed to other libselinux functions such as
get_ordered_context_list_with_level and get_default_context_with_level.
The returned SELinux username and level should be freed by the caller using
free.
RETURN VALUE¶
On success, 0 is returned. On failure, -1 is returned and errno is set
appropriately.
The errors documented for the
stat(2) system call are also applicable here.
