DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions return the paths to the active policy
       configuration directories and files based on the settings in
       /etc/selinux/config.

       selinux_path() returns the top-level SELinux configuration
       directory.

       selinux_policy_root() returns the top-level policy directory.

       selinux_binary_policy_path() returns the binary policy file loaded
       into kernel.

       selinux_current_policy_path() returns the currently loaded policy
       file from the kernel.

       selinux_default_type_path() returns the context file mapping roles
       to default types.

       selinux_failsafe_context_path() returns the failsafe context for
       emergency logins.

       selinux_removable_context_path() returns the filesystem context
       for removable media.

       selinux_default_context_path() returns the system-wide default
       contexts for user sessions.

       selinux_user_contexts_path() returns the directory containing per-
       user default contexts.

       selinux_usersconf_path() returns the file containing mapping
       between Linux Users and SELinux users.

       selinux_x_context_path() returns the file containing configuration
       for XSELinux extension.

       selinux_sepgsql_context_path() returns the file containing
       configuration for SE-PostgreSQL.

       selinux_netfilter_context_path() returns the default netfilter
       context.

       selinux_file_context_path() returns the default system file
       contexts configuration.

       selinux_file_context_local_path() returns the local customization
       file contexts configuration.

       selinux_file_context_homedir_path() returns the home directory
       file contexts configuration.

       selinux_media_context_path() returns the file contexts for media
       device nodes.

       selinux_contexts_path() returns the directory containing all of
       the context configuration files.
