* selabel_open - Create a labeling handle.
* @backend: one of the constants specifying a supported labeling backend.
* @opts: array of selabel_opt structures specifying label options or NULL.
* @nopts: number of elements in opts array or zero for no options.
* Open a labeling backend for use. The available backend identifiers are
* listed above. Options may be provided via the opts parameter; available
* options are listed above. Not all options may be supported by every
* backend. Return value is the created handle on success or NULL with
struct selabel_handle *selabel_open(unsigned int backend,
const struct selinux_opt *opts,
* selabel_close - Close a labeling handle.
* @handle: specifies handle to close
* Destroy the specified handle, closing files, freeing allocated memory,
* etc. The handle may not be further used after it has been closed.
void selabel_close(struct selabel_handle *handle);
* selabel_lookup - Perform labeling lookup operation.
* @handle: specifies backend instance to query
* @con: returns the appropriate context with which to label the object
* @key: string input to lookup operation
* @type: numeric input to the lookup operation
* Perform a labeling lookup operation. Return %0 on success, -%1 with
* @errno set on failure. The key and type arguments are the inputs to the
* lookup operation; appropriate values are dictated by the backend in use.
* The result is returned in the memory pointed to by @con and must be freed
* by the user with freecon().

* selabel_digest - Retrieve the SHA1 digest and the list of specfiles used to
* generate the digest. The SELABEL_OPT_DIGEST option must
* be set in selabel_open() to initiate the digest generation.
* @handle: specifies backend instance to query
* @digest: returns a pointer to the SHA1 digest.
* @digest_len: returns length of digest in bytes.
* @specfiles: a list of specfiles used in the SHA1 digest generation.
* The list is NULL terminated and will hold @num_specfiles entries.
* @num_specfiles: number of specfiles in the list.
* Return %0 on success, -%1 with @errno set on failure.

* number of unused matching entries, or other operational statistics.
* Message is backend-specific, some backends may not output a message.
