NAME         top

       semanage_list - SELinux Lists Management API

SYNOPSIS         top

       The following list function is supported for any SELinux managent
       record.
       Replace the function and object name as necessary.

       extern int LIST_FUNCTION (
            semanage_handle_t *handle,
            semanage_OBJECT_t ***objects,
            unsigned int* count);

DESCRIPTION         top

       Behavior:
              The list function will return an array of all the objects
              in the selected location.

       Parameters:
              The handle is used to track persistent state across
              semanage calls, and for error reporting. The function will
              allocate and populate the array of objects, and store it at
              the location pointed by objects.  It will write the number
              of objects at the location pointed by count.  The array,
              and all its objects become property of the caller. Each
              object must be freed with semanage_OBJECT_free.

       Requirements:
              This function requires an semanage connection to be
              established (see semanage_connect(3) )

RETURN VALUE         top

       In case of failure, -1 is returned, and the semanage error
       callback is invoked, describing the error.  Otherwise a non-
       negative integer is returned (a commit number). The same number
       will be returned by all other semanage object read calls until the
       next commit.
