NAME
       getseuserbyname	-  get	SELinux	 username  and level for a given Linux
       username

SYNOPSIS
       #include <selinux/selinux.h>

       int getseuserbyname(const char  *linuxuser,  char  **selinuxuser,  char
       **level);

DESCRIPTION
       getseuserbyname retrieves the SELinux username and security level asso‐
       ciated with a given Linux username.  The SELinux username and  security
       level  can  then	 be  passed  to	 other	libselinux  functions  such as
       get_ordered_context_list_with_level and get_default_context_with_level.

       The returned SELinux username and level should be freed by  the	caller
       using free.

RETURN VALUE
       On success, 0 is returned.  On failure, -1 is returned and errno is set
       appropriately.

       The errors documented for the stat(2) system call are  also  applicable
       here.
