NAME

       getsockcreatecon,  setsockcreatecon  -  get  or  set the SELinux security context used for creating a new
       labeled sockets

SYNOPSIS

       #include <selinux/selinux.h>

       int getsockcreatecon(char **con);

       int getsockcreatecon_raw(char **con);

       int setsockcreatecon(char *context);

       int setsockcreatecon_raw(char *context);

DESCRIPTION

       getsockcreatecon() retrieves the context used for creating a new labeled network socket.   This  returned
       context  should  be  freed  with  freecon(3)  if  non-NULL.   getsockcreatecon()  sets *con to NULL if no
       sockcreate context has been explicitly set by the program (i.e. using the default policy behavior).

       setsockcreatecon() sets the context used for creating a new labeled network sockets NULL can be passed to
       setsockcreatecon()  to  reset  to  the  default policy behavior.  The sockcreate context is automatically
       reset after the next execve(2), so a program doesn't need to explicitly sanitize it upon startup.

       setsockcreatecon() can be applied prior to library functions that internally perform an file creation, in
       order to set an file context on the objects.

       getsockcreatecon_raw() and setsockcreatecon_raw() behave identically to their non-raw counterparts but do
       not perform context translation.

       Note: Signal handlers that perform a setsockcreatecon() must take care to save, reset,  and  restore  the
       sockcreate context to avoid unexpected behavior.

       Note: Contexts are thread specific.

RETURN VALUE

       On error -1 is returned.  On success 0 is returned.
