NAME
       default_contexts - The SELinux default contexts configuration file

DESCRIPTION
       The default contexts configuration file default_contexts contains entries that allow SELinux-aware login applications such as PAM(8)

       SELinux-aware login applications generally use one or more of the following libselinux functions that read these files from the active pol-
       icy path:
	      get_default_context(3)
	      get_ordered_context_list(3)
	      get_ordered_context_list_with_level(3)
	      get_default_context_with_level(3)
	      get_default_context_with_role(3)
	      get_default_context_with_rolelevel(3)
	      query_user_context(3)
	      manual_user_enter_context(3)

       The default context configuration file path for the active policy is returned by  selinux_default_contexts_path(3).  The  default,  default
       contexts file is:
	      /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/default_contexts

       Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)).

FILE FORMAT
       Each line in the default configuration file consists of the following:
	      login_process user_login_process [user_login_process] ...

       Where:
	      login_process
		     This consists of a role:type[:range] entry that represents the login process context that are defined in the policy.
	      user_login_process
		     This consists of one or more role:type[:range] entries that represent the user login process context defined in the policy.
