       is_context_customizable - check whether SELinux context type is
       customizable by the administrator

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <selinux/selinux.h>

       int is_context_customizable(const char *scon);

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function checks whether the type of scon is in the
       /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/context/customizable_types file.  A
       customizable type is a file context type that administrators set
       on files, usually to allow certain domains to share the file
       content. restorecon and setfiles, by default, leave these context
       in place.

RETURN VALUE         top

       Returns 1 if security context is customizable or 0 if it is not.
       Returns -1 on error.

FILE         top
