SYNOPSIS
#include <selinux/selinux.h>
#include <selinux/flask.h>
int security_compute_av(security_context_t scon, security_context_t
tcon, security_class_t tclass, access_vector_t requested, struct
av_decision *avd);

security_context_t tcon, security_class_t tclass, access_vector_t
requested, struct av_decision *avd);
int security_compute_create(security_context_t scon, security_context_t
tcon, security_class_t tclass, security_context_t *newcon);
int security_compute_relabel(security_context_t scon,
security_context_t tcon, security_class_t tclass, security_context_t
*newcon);
int security_compute_member(security_context_t scon, security_context_t
tcon, security_class_t tclass, security_context_t *newcon);
int security_compute_user(security_context_t scon, const char
*username, security_context_t **con);

"con );

int checkPasswdAccess(access_vector_t requested);
DESCRIPTION
security_compute_av queries whether the policy permits the source
context scon to access the target context tcon via class tclass with
the requested access vector. The decision is returned in avd.
security_compute_av_flags is identical to security_compute_av but
additionally sets the flags field of avd. Currently one flag is
supported: SELINUX_AVD_FLAGS_PERMISSIVE, which indicates the decision
is computed on a permissive domain.
security_compute_create is used to compute a context to use for
labeling a new object in a particular class based on a SID pair.
security_compute_relabel is used to compute the new context to use when
relabeling an object, it is used in the pam_selinux.so source and the
newrole source to determine the correct label for the tty at login
time, but can be used for other things.
security_compute_member is used to compute the context to use when
labeling a polyinstantiated object instance.
security_compute_user is used to determine the set of user contexts
that can be reached from a source context. It is mainly used by
get_ordered_context_list.
security_get_initial_context is used to get the context of a kernel
initial security identifier specified by name
selinux_check_passwd_access is used to check for a permission in the
passwd class. selinux_check_passwd_access uses getprevcon() for the
source and target security contexts.
checkPasswdAccess is a deprecated alias of the
selinux_check_passwd_access function.
RETURN VALUE
Returns zero on success or -1 on error.
