| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .BR security_getenforce () |
| returns 0 if SELinux is running in permissive mode, 1 if it is running in |
| enforcing mode, and \-1 on error. |
| |
| .BR security_setenforce () |
| sets SELinux to enforcing mode if the value 1 is passed in, and sets it to |
| permissive mode if 0 is passed in. On success 0 is returned, on error \-1 is |
| returned. |
| |
| .BR security_deny_unknown () |
| returns 0 if SELinux treats policy queries on undefined object classes or |
| permissions as being allowed, 1 if such queries are denied, and \-1 on error. |
| |
| .BR security_reject_unknown () |
| returns 1 if the current policy was built with handle-unknown=reject and SELinux |
| would reject loading it, if it did not define all kernel object classes and |
| permissions. In this state, when |
| .BR selinux_set_mapping() |
| and |
| .BR selinux_check_access() |
| are used with an undefined userspace class or permission, an error is returned |
| and errno is set to EINVAL. |
| |
| It returns 0 if the current policy was built with handle-unknown=allow or |
| handle-unknown=deny. In this state, policy queries are treated according to |
| .BR security_deny_unknown(). |
| \-1 is returned on error. |
| |
| .BR security_get_checkreqprot () |
| can be used to determine whether SELinux is configured to check the |
| protection requested by the application or the actual protection that will |
| be applied by the kernel (including the effects of READ_IMPLIES_EXEC) on |
| mmap and mprotect calls. It returns 0 if SELinux checks the actual |
| protection, 1 if it checks the requested protection, and \-1 on error. |
