**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.
