💖 selinux_bi...olicy_path — the SELinux API Documentation girlies 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the selinux_bi...olicy_path(3) page, part of the SELinux API Documentation ✨ yes the title is literally cut off in the middle, that's just how it is, we don't ask questions 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

selinux_path, selinux_policy_root, selinux_binary_policy_path, selinux_current_policy_path, selinux_failsafe_context_path, selinux_removable_context_path, selinux_default_context_path, selinux_user_contexts_path, selinux_file_context_path, selinux_media_context_path, selinux_contexts_path — these functions return the paths to the active SELinux policy configuration directories and files 🫶

like. that's the whole job. path-finders. little tour guides for your SELinux config 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, these functions return the paths to the active policy configuration directories and files, and they figure all that out based on the settings in /etc/selinux/config 👀 that file is the source of truth, bestie. no cap.

• selinux_path() — returns the top-level SELinux configuration directory 💖
• selinux_policy_root() — returns the top-level policy directory 🌸
• selinux_binary_policy_path() — returns the binary policy file loaded into kernel 🔥
• selinux_current_policy_path() — returns the currently loaded policy file from the kernel 👑
• selinux_default_type_path() — returns the context file mapping roles to default types 🎀
• selinux_failsafe_context_path() — returns the failsafe context for emergency logins 🚨 (emergency!! like, the backup plan energy)
• selinux_removable_context_path() — returns the filesystem context for removable media 💾
• selinux_default_context_path() — returns the system-wide default contexts for user sessions 🌈
• selinux_user_contexts_path() — returns the directory containing per-user default contexts 🫶
• selinux_usersconf_path() — returns the file containing mapping between Linux Users and SELinux users 🧚
• selinux_x_context_path() — returns the file containing configuration for XSELinux extension 🖥️
• selinux_sepgsql_context_path() — returns the file containing configuration for SE-PostgreSQL 🍓
• selinux_netfilter_context_path() — returns the default netfilter context 🔥
• selinux_file_context_path() — returns the default system file contexts configuration 💅
• selinux_file_context_local_path() — returns the local customization file contexts configuration ✨
• selinux_file_context_homedir_path() — returns the home directory file contexts configuration 🏠
• selinux_media_context_path() — returns the file contexts for media device nodes 📀
• selinux_contexts_path() — returns the directory containing all of the context configuration files 🌟
• selinux_securetty_types_path() — returns the defines tty types for newrole securettys 💜

lowkey obsessed with how every single one of these is just "here is a path, bestie, go wild." main character energy fr fr 💀
