.TH "setfilecon" "3" "1 January 2004" "russell@coker.com.au" "SELinux API documentation"
.SH "NAME"
setfilecon, fsetfilecon, lsetfilecon \- set SELinux security context of a file
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.B #include <selinux/selinux.h>
.sp
.BI "int setfilecon(const char *" path ", security_context_t "con );
.BI "int lsetfilecon(const char *" path ", security_context_t "con );
.BI "int fsetfilecon(int "fd ", security_context_t "con );
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B setfilecon
sets the security context of the file system object.
.B lsetfilecon
is identical to setfilecon, except in the case of a symbolic link, where the
link itself has it's context set, not the file that it refers to.
.B fsetfilecon
is identical to setfilecon, only the open file pointed to by filedes (as
returned by open(2)) has it's context set in place of path.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
On success, zero is returned. On failure, -1 is returned and errno is
set appropriately.
If there is insufficient space remaining to store the extended
attribute, errno is set to either ENOSPC, or EDQUOT if quota enforce-
ment was the cause.
If extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are dis-
abled, errno is set to ENOTSUP.
The errors documented for the stat(2) system call are also applicable
here.
