.SH NAME
aa_splitcon \- split the confinement context into a label and mode
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fB#include <sys/apparmor.h>\fR
.PP
\&\fBchar *aa_splitcon(char *con, char **mode);\fR
.PP
Link with \fB\-lapparmor\fR when compiling.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBaa_splitcon()\fR function splits a confinement context into separate label
and mode strings. The \f(CW@con\fR string is modified so that the label portion is NUL
terminated. The enforcement mode is also NUL terminated and the parenthesis
surrounding the mode are removed. If \f(CW@mode\fR is non-NULL, it will point to the
first character in the enforcement mode string on success.
.PP
The Linux kernel's /proc/<PID>/attr/current interface appends a
trailing newline character to AppArmor contexts that are read from that file.
If \f(CW@con\fR contains a single trailing newline character, it will be stripped by
\&\fBaa_splitcon()\fR prior to all other processing.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUE"
Returns a pointer to the first character in the label string. NULL is returned
on error.
