# semanage\_user\_count(3)

SELinux Management API

Part of [semanage\_count(3)](/semanage_count/3.md).

## NAME

semanage\_count - SELinux Management API

## SYNOPSIS

The following count function is supported for any semanage record.\
 Replace the function and object name as necessary.

**extern int COUNT\_FUNCTION (**\
 	**semanage\_handle\_t \****handle***,**\
 	**unsigned int\*** *response***);**

## DESCRIPTION

- **Behavior:**

  The count function will return the number of all objects in the selected location.

- **Parameters:**

  The *handle* is used to track persistent state across semanage calls, and for error reporting. The number of objects will be stored at the location pointed by *response.*

- **Requirements:**

  This function requires an semanage connection to be established (see **semanage\_connect**(3) )

## RETURN VALUE

In case of failure, -1 is returned, and the semanage error callback is invoked, describing the error. Otherwise a non-negative integer is returned (a commit number). The same number will be returned by all other semanage object read calls until the next commit.
