inode_permission(9) [suse man page]

INODE_PERMISSION(9)						   The Linux VFS					       INODE_PERMISSION(9)

NAME

       inode_permission - check for access rights to a given inode

SYNOPSIS

       int inode_permission(struct inode * inode, int mask);

ARGUMENTS

       inode
	   inode to check permission on

       mask
	   right to check for (MAY_READ, MAY_WRITE, MAY_EXEC)

DESCRIPTION

       Used to check for read/write/execute permissions on an inode. We use "fsuid" for this, letting us set arbitrary permissions for filesystem
       access without changing the "normal" uids which are used for other things.

NAME

       matchpathcon_checkmatches,  matchpathcon_filespec_add, matchpathcon_filespec_destroy, matchpathcon_filespec_eval - check and report whether
       any specification index has no matches with any inode. Maintenance and statistics on inode associations.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <selinux/selinux.h>

       void matchpathcon_checkmatches(char *str);

       int matchpathcon_filespec_add(ino_t ino, int specind, const char *file);

       void matchpathcon_filespec_destroy(void);

       void matchpathcon_filespec_eval(void);

DESCRIPTION

       matchpathcon_checkmatches checks whether any specification has no matches and reports them.  The str argument is used as a prefix  for  any
       warning messages.

       matchpathcon_filespec_add maintains an association between an inode ino and a specification index specind, and checks whether a conflicting
       specification is already associated with the same inode (e.g. due to multiple hard links). If so, then it uses the latter of the two speci-
       fications based on their order in the file context configuration. Returns the specification index used or -1 on error.

       matchpathcon_filespec_destroy destroys any inode associations that have been added, e.g. to restart for a new filesystem.

       matchpathcon_filespec_eval displays statistics on the hash table usage for the inode associations.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns zero on success or -1 otherwise.
