NAME

       semanage_iterate - SELinux Management API

SYNOPSIS

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

       extern int ITERATE_FUNCTION (
            semanage_handle_t *handle,
            int (*handler) (
                          const semanage_OBJECT_t *object,
                          void *varg),
            void *handler_arg);

DESCRIPTION

       Behavior:
              The iterate function will execute the specified handler over all
              objects in the selected location. An arbitrary argument  can  be
              passed into the handler function along with each object.

              The object passed in is property of the libsemanage library, and
              may not be modified or preserved - use semanage_OBJECT_clone  if
              that is necessary.

              The  handler code may not invoke any semanage write requests for
              the same object type (i.e. modifying the underlying store is not
              allowed).  The iterate function is reentrant only while inside a
              transaction (see semanage_begin_transaction ). It is not safe to
              execute  other semanage read or write requests within iterate if
              not inside a transaction. The handler may return  -1  to  signal
              error  exit,  0  to  signal continue, and 1 to signal successful
              exit early (the iterate function will stop accordingly).

       Parameters:
              The handle is used to track  persistent  state  across  semanage
              calls,  and  for error reporting. The handler is the function to
              execute, with handler_arg as  its  second  parameter,  and  each
              object as its first parameter.

       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 semanage object read calls until the next commit.
