NAME

       semanage_exists - SELinux Management API

SYNOPSIS

       The following exists function is supported for any semanage record.
       Replace the function and object name as necessary.

       extern int EXISTS_FUNCTION (
            semanage_handle_t *handle,
            const semanage_OBJECT_key_t *key,
            semanage_OBJECT_t **response);

DESCRIPTION

       Behavior:
              The  exists  function  will  return  0  if a matching key is not
              found, and 1 otherwise.

       Parameters:
              The handle is used to track  persistent  state  across  semanage
              calls,  and  for  error reporting. The key identifies the object
              being checked. The result of the test  will  be  stored  in  the
              address pointed by response The key is a property of the caller,
              and will not be stored or modified internally.

       Requirements:
              This function requires an semanage connection to be  established
              (see semanage_connect(3) )

RETURN VALUE

       In  case of failure, -1 is returned, and the semanage error callback is
       invoked, describing the error.  Otherwise  a  non-negative  integer  is
       returned  (a  commit  number).  The same number will be returned by all
       other read calls to the semanage database until the next commit.
