semanage\_del(3) Libsemanage API documentation semanage\_del(3) # [NAME](#NAME) semanage\_del - SELinux Management API # [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS) The following delete function is supported for any semanage record. Replace the function and object name as necessary. **extern int DELETE\_FUNCTION (** **semanage\_handle\_t \*handle,** **const semanage\_OBJECT\_key\_t \*key);** # [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION) [**Behavior:**](#Behavior:) The delete function will remove the object corresponding to the provided key from the local store. If no match is found, no action is taken. Changes will become permanent when [**semanage\_commit**(3)](/man/os/libsemanage/semanage_commit.3) is invoked. Additional checks may be performed at that time to ensure the system is left in a valid state. [**Parameters:**](#Parameters:) The *handle* is used to track persistent state across semanage calls, and for error reporting. The *key* identifies the *data* object, which will be deleted from the local store. The key is a property of the caller, and will not be stored or modified internally. [**Requirements:**](#Requirements:) This function requires an semanage connection to be established (see [**semanage\_connect**(3)](/man/os/libsemanage/semanage_connect.3) ), and must be executed in a transaction (see [**semanage\_begin\_transaction**(3)](/man/os/libsemanage/semanage_begin_transaction.3) ). # [RETURN VALUE](#RETURN_VALUE) In case of failure, -1 is returned, and the semanage error callback is invoked, describing the error. Otherwise 0 is returned. # [SEE ALSO](#SEE_ALSO) [**semanage\_handle\_create**(3)](/man/os/libsemanage/semanage_handle_create.3), [**semanage\_begin\_transaction**(3)](/man/os/libsemanage/semanage_begin_transaction.3), [**semanage\_connect**(3)](/man/os/libsemanage/semanage_connect.3), [**semanage\_commit**(3)](/man/os/libsemanage/semanage_commit.3). 16 March 2006 ivg2@cornell.edu --- Document: semanage_seuser_del_local(3) from libsemanage 3.11-r2 (Chainguard OS) Source: https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux.git
