✨ selinux_r...clude_list(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the selinux_restorecon_set_exclude_list page 💖 this one lives in the SELinux API documentation and honestly? it's a short one. a lil snack. but it's important, so lock in 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

selinux_restorecon_set_exclude_list — set list of directories to be excluded from relabeling.

like... it tells the relabeler which folders to not touch. hands off. no cap 🙈

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <selinux/restorecon.h>

void selinux_restorecon_set_exclude_list(const char **exclude_list);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓

selinux_restorecon_set_exclude_list() passes to selinux_restorecon(3) a pointer containing a NULL terminated list of one or more directories that are not to be relabeled, and it hands that list over in exclude_list.

that's it. that's the whole function. it's giving "make a list, check it twice, but the list is directories you're NOT relabeling" 💅

⚠️ IMPORTANT: selinux_restorecon_set_exclude_list() must be called prior to selinux_restorecon(3). order matters, queen 👑 don't call it after, that's not the vibe.
