SYNOPSIS
       #include <selinux/selinux.h>

       int security_getenforce(void);

       int security_setenforce(int value);

       int security_deny_unknown(void);

DESCRIPTION
       security_getenforce returns 0 if SELinux is running in permissive mode, 1 if it is running in enforcing mode, and -1 on error.

       security_setenforce  sets SELinux to enforcing mode if the value 1 is passed in, and sets it to permissive mode if 0 is passed in.  On suc-
       cess 0 is returned, on error -1 is returned.

       security_deny_unknown returns 0 if SELinux treats policy queries on undefined object classes or permissions as being  allowed,  1  if  such
       queries are denied, and -1 on error.
