       context_role_set,  context_user_get,  context_user_set  -  Routines  to
       manipulate SELinux security contexts

SYNOPSIS

       #include <selinux/context.h>

       context_t context_new(const char * context_str );

       const char * context_str(context_t  con );

       void context_free(context_t  con );

       const char * context_type_get(context_t  con );

       const char * context_range_get(context_t  con );

       const char * context_role_get(context_t  con );

       const char * context_user_get(context_t  con );

       const char * context_type_set(context_t  con , const char*  type);

       const char * context_range_set(context_t  con , const char*  range);

       const char * context_role_set(context_t  con , const char*  role );

       const char * context_user_set(context_t  con , const char*  user );

DESCRIPTION

       These functions allow an application to  manipulate  the  fields  of  a
       security  context string without requiring it to know the format of the
       string.

       context_new
        Return a new context initialized to a context string

       context_str Return a pointer to the string value of the context_t Valid
       until  the  next  call to context_str or context_free for the same con-
       text_t*

       context_free Free the storage used by a context

       context_type_get, context_range_get, context_role_get, context_user_get
       Get a pointer to the string value of a context component

       NOTE:  Values  returned  by  the get functions are only valid until the
       next call to a set function or context_free() for  the  same  context_t
       structure.

       context_type_set, context_range_set, context_role_set, context_user_set
