# audit\_log\_secctx(9)

Converts and logs SELinux context

## NAME

audit\_log\_secctx - Converts and logs SELinux context

## SYNOPSIS

**void audit\_log\_secctx(struct audit\_buffer \*** *ab***, u32** *secid***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*ab*

audit\_buffer

*secid*

security number

## DESCRIPTION

This is a helper function that calls security\_secid\_to\_secctx to convert secid to secctx and then adds the (converted) SELinux context to the audit log by calling audit\_log\_format, thus also preventing leak of internal secid to userspace. If secid cannot be converted audit\_panic is called.
