NAME
security_sid_to_context - Get the security context string for a SID
SYNOPSIS
#include <ss.h>
int security_sid_to_context(security_id_t sid, security_context_t scontext, __u32 *scontext_len);
DESCRIPTION
The security_sid_to_context call is used to obtain the security context string representation of the context associated with sid. The scontext_len argument is a value-result parameter, initialized to the size of the buffer associated with scontext, and modified on return to indicate the length of the context stored there, including the terminating NULL character. If the buffer is not large enough, then scontext_len is set to the actual size, -1 is returned, and errno is set to ENOSPC.
RETURN VALUE
A zero is returned on success. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
- EINVAL
-
The SID was invalid.
- EACCES
-
The process is not authorized to invoke this call on this SID.
- ENOSPC
-
The buffer was too small.
