setsockcreatecon_raw(3) [centos man page]

getsockcreatecon(3)					     SELinux API documentation					       getsockcreatecon(3)

NAME

       getsockcreatecon, setsockcreatecon - get or set the SELinux security context used for creating a new labeled sockets

SYNOPSIS

       #include <selinux/selinux.h>

       int getsockcreatecon(security_context_t *con);

       int getsockcreatecon_raw(security_context_t *con);

       int setsockcreatecon(security_context_t context);

       int setsockcreatecon_raw(security_context_t context);

DESCRIPTION

       getsockcreatecon()  retrieves  the  context  used  for  creating  a new labeled network socket.	This returned context should be freed with
       freecon(3) if non-NULL.	getsockcreatecon() sets *con to NULL if no sockcreate context has been explicitly set by the program  (i.e.  using
       the default policy behavior).

       setsockcreatecon()  sets  the  context used for creating a new labeled network sockets NULL can be passed to setsockcreatecon() to reset to
       the default policy behavior.  The sockcreate context is automatically reset after the next execve(2), so a program doesn't need to  explic-
       itly sanitize it upon startup.

       setsockcreatecon()  can	be applied prior to library functions that internally perform an file creation, in order to set an file context on
       the objects.

       getsockcreatecon_raw() and setsockcreatecon_raw() behave identically to their non-raw counterparts but do not perform context translation.

       Note: Signal handlers that perform a setsockcreatecon() must take care to save, reset, and restore the sockcreate context  to  avoid  unex-
       pected behavior.

       Note: Contexts are thread specific.

RETURN VALUE

       On error -1 is returned.  On success 0 is returned.

NAME

       getkeycreatecon, setkeycreatecon - get or set the SELinux security context used for creating a new kernel keyrings

SYNOPSIS

       #include <selinux/selinux.h>

       int getkeycreatecon(security_context_t *con);

       int getkeycreatecon_raw(security_context_t *con);

       int setkeycreatecon(security_context_t context);

       int setkeycreatecon_raw(security_context_t context);

DESCRIPTION

       getkeycreatecon()  retrieves  the context used for creating a new kernel keyring.  This returned context should be freed with freecon(3) if
       non-NULL.  getkeycreatecon() sets *con to NULL if no keycreate context has been explicitly set by the program (i.e. using the default  pol-
       icy behavior).

       setkeycreatecon() sets the context used for creating a new kernel keyring.  NULL can be passed to setkeycreatecon() to reset to the default
       policy behavior.  The keycreate context is automatically reset after the next execve(2), so a program doesn't need to  explicitly  sanitize
       it upon startup.

       setkeycreatecon()  can  be  applied prior to library functions that internally perform an file creation, in order to set an file context on
       the objects.

       getkeycreatecon_raw() and setkeycreatecon_raw() behave identically to their non-raw counterparts but do not perform context translation.

       Note: Signal handlers that perform a setkeycreatecon() must take care to save, reset, and restore the keycreate context to avoid unexpected
       behavior.

       Note: Contexts are thread specific.

RETURN VALUE

       On error -1 is returned.  On success 0 is returned.
