NAME
       set_matchpathcon_flags,	set_matchpathcon_invalidcon,  set_matchpathcon_printf  -  set  flags  controlling the operation of matchpathcon or
       matchpathcon_index and configure the behaviour of validity checking and error displaying.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <selinux/selinux.h>

       void set_matchpathcon_flags(unsigned int flags);

       void set_matchpathcon_invalidcon(int (*f)(const char *path, unsigned lineno, char * context));

       void set_matchpathcon_printf(void (*f)(const char *fmt, ...));

DESCRIPTION
       set_matchpathcon_flags sets the flags controlling the operation of matchpathcon_init and subsequently matchpathcon_index  or  matchpathcon.
       If the MATCHPATHCON_BASEONLY flag is set, then only the base file contexts configuration file will be processed, not any dynamically gener-
       ated entries or local customizations.

       set_matchpathcon_invalidcon sets the function used by matchpathcon_init when checking the validity of a context in the file  contexts  con-
       figuration.   If  not set, then this defaults to a test based on security_check_context(3), which checks validity against the active policy
       on a SELinux system.  This can be set to instead perform checking based on a binary policy file, e.g. using sepol_check_context(3),  as	is
       done by setfiles -c.  The function is also responsible for reporting any such error, and may include the path and lineno in such error mes-
       sages.

       set_matchpathcon_printf sets the function used by matchpathcon_init when displaying errors about the file contexts configuration.   If  not
       set, then this defaults to fprintf(stderr, fmt, ...).  This can be set to redirect error reporting to a different destination.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns zero on success or -1 otherwise.
