getfscreatecon(3)	   SELinux API documentation	     getfscreatecon(3)

NAME
       getfscreatecon,	setfscreatecon	- get or set the SELinux security con‐
       text used for creating a new file system object.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <selinux/selinux.h>

       int getfscreatecon(security_context_t *con);

       int setfscreatecon(security_context_t context);

DESCRIPTION
       getfscreatecon retrieves the context used for creating a new file  sys‐
       tem object.  This returned context should be freed with freecon if non-
       NULL.  getfscreatecon sets *con to NULL if no fscreate context has been
       explicitly set by the program (i.e. using the default policy behavior).

       setfscreatecon  sets  the  context  used for creating a new file system
       object.	NULL can be passed to setfscreatecon to reset to  the  default
       policy behavior.	 The fscreate context is automatically reset after the
       next execve, so a program doesn't need to explicitly sanitize  it  upon
       startup.

       setfscreatecon  can  be	applied prior to library functions that inter‐
       nally perform an file creation, in order to set an file context on  the
       objects.

       Note:  Signal  handlers	that  perform an setfscreate must take care to
       save, reset, and restore	 the  fscreate	context	 to  avoid  unexpected
       behavior.

RETURN VALUE
       On error -1 is returned.	 On success 0 is returned.
