NAME
       selabel_media - userspace SELinux labeling interface and configuration file format for the
       media contexts backend


SYNOPSIS
       #include <selinux/label.h>

       int selabel_lookup(struct selabel_handle *hnd,
                          char **context,
                          const char *device_name, int unused);

       int selabel_lookup_raw(struct selabel_handle *hnd,
                          char **context,
                          const char *device_name, int unused);


DESCRIPTION
       The media contexts backend maps from media device names such as "cdrom" or  "floppy"  into
       security  contexts.  It  is  used to find the appropriate context for establishing context
       mounts on these devices. The returned context must be freed using freecon(3).
       selabel_lookup(3) describes the function with its return and error codes.

       The integer lookup argument is currently unused and should be set to zero.

       Any messages generated by selabel_lookup(3) are sent to stderr by default,  although  this
       can be changed by selinux_set_callback(3).

       selabel_lookup_raw(3)  behaves  identically  to  selabel_lookup(3)  but  does  not perform
       context translation.

       The FILES section details the configuration files used to determine the media context.


OPTIONS
       In addition to the global options described in selabel_open(3),  this  backend  recognizes
       the following options:

       SELABEL_OPT_PATH
              A  non-null value for this option specifies a path to a file that will be opened in
              lieu of the standard media contexts file.


FILES
       The media context file used to retrieve a default context depends on the  SELABEL_OPT_PATH
       parameter passed to selabel_open(3). If NULL, then the SELABEL_OPT_PATH value will default
       to    the    active    policy    media    contexts    location     (as     returned     by
       selinux_media_context_path(3)),  otherwise  the actual SELABEL_OPT_PATH value specified is
       used.

       The default media contexts file is:
              /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/files/media

       Where {SELINUXTYPE}  is  the  entry  from  the  selinux  configuration  file  config  (see
       selinux_config(5)).


FILE FORMAT
       Each line within the media file is as follows:
              device_name context

       Where:
              device_name
                     The media identifier (e.g. cdrom, floppy, disk and usb).
              context
                     The context to be used for labeling the device.

       Example:
              # contexts/files/media
              cdrom system_u:object_r:removable_device_t
              floppy system_u:object_r:removable_device_t
              disk system_u:object_r:fixed_disk_device_t


NOTES
       If  contexts  are to be validated, then the global option SELABEL_OPT_VALIDATE must be set
       before calling selabel_open(3). If this is not set, then it is  possible  for  an  invalid
       context to be returned.
