context_new, context_str, context_free, context_type_get, context_type_set, context_range_get,

       These  functions  allow  an  application  to  manipulate  the fields of a security context string without
       requiring it to know the format of the string.

       context_new() returns a new context initialized to a context string.

       context_str() returns a pointer to the string value of the  context_t,  valid  until  the  next  call  to
       context_str() or context_free() for the same context_t*.

       context_free() frees the storage used by a context.

       context_type_get(),  context_range_get(),  context_role_get(),  context_user_get()  get  a pointer to the
       string value of a context component.

       Note: Values returned by the get functions are only valid until the  next  call  to  a  set  function  or
       context_free() for the same context_t structure.

       context_type_set(), context_range_set(), context_role_set(), context_user_set() set a context component.

       context_range_set,context_role_get, context_role_set, context_user_get, context_user_set  -  Routines  to
       manipulate SELinux security contexts

       On failure context_*_set() functions return non-zero and 0 on success.

       The other functions return NULL on failure and non-NULL on success.

       On failure errno is set appropriately.
