✨ semanage_iface — SELinux Network Interfaces Management API ✨

okay bestie, welcome to semanage_iface(3), the Libsemanage API docs page that's literally all about managing SELinux network interfaces 💅 this is the group chat index — the ✨ table of contents ✨ of every function in this little family, each with its own dedicated man page.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <semanage/iface_record.h>
#include <semanage/interfaces_policy.h>
#include <semanage/interfaces_local.h>

so this object? it's carrying around all the properties that belong to a network interface. that's it, that's the vibe 🦋

and for the tea on any specific function — like, the actual details — go read its own manual page. no cap.

🎀 Record API Overview 🎀

the whole "make it, clone it, compare it, yeet it" section. iconic behavior only.

• semanage_iface_create(3) — creates an interface ✨
• semanage_iface_free(3) — releases the resources for this interface, bye girl 💖
• semanage_iface_key_create(3) — makes a key, which you can use to identify an interface 🔑
• semanage_iface_key_free(3) — releases the resources for this interface key 🫶
• semanage_iface_key_extract(3) — creates a key that matches this interface
• semanage_iface_clone(3) — creates an identical interface (a deep-copy clone, so like… a real twin, not a copy-paste situation) 👯
• semanage_iface_compare(3) — compares this interface to the key you provide
• semanage_iface_compare2(3) — compares this interface to another one

💜 Properties API Overview 💜

getters and setters, the original situationship. one to read, one to write, for each lil property.

• semanage_iface_get_name(3) — returns the name of this interface
• semanage_iface_set_name(3) — sets the name of this interface
• semanage_iface_get_ifcon(3) — returns the SELinux context associated with this interface 🔥
• semanage_iface_set_ifcon(3) — sets the SELinux context associated with this interface
• semanage_iface_get_msgcon(3) — returns the SELinux context associated with packets sent over this interface 📦
• semanage_iface_set_msgcon(3) — sets the SELinux context associated with packets sent over this interface

🌈 Record Store API Overview 🌈

now we're in the store. local store, persistent policy — two whole worlds, and yes, there are functions for both. main character energy fr fr 👑

• semanage_iface_modify_local(3) — adds or updates an interface in the local store
• semanage_iface_del_local(3) — deletes an interface from the local store 💀
• semanage_iface_exists(3) — checks if an interface is defined in the persistent policy
• semanage_iface_exists_local(3) — checks if an interface is defined in the local store
• semanage_iface_query(3) — queries an interface in the persistent policy
• semanage_iface_query_local(3) — queries an interface in the local store
• semanage_iface_count(3) — counts the number of interfaces defined in the persistent policy
• semanage_iface_count_local(3) — counts the number of interfaces defined in the local store
• semanage_iface_iterate(3) — executes a callback for each interface in the persistent policy 🔁
• semanage_iface_iterate_local(3) — executes a callback for each interface in the local store
• semanage_iface_list(3) — returns an array containing all interfaces in the persistent policy
• semanage_iface_list_local(3) — returns an array containing all interfaces in the local store

and that's the whole page bestie, every single function accounted for, not one skipped, we don't do that here 💅

okay and for the cute sign-off: this page was brought to you by ivg2@cornell.edu, dated 16 March 2006, and it lives in the Libsemanage API documentation as semanage_iface(3) 🎀 ty for coming to my ted talk, slay, go read the individual function pages, mwah 💖✨
