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.
