10 The following modify function is supported for any semanage record.
11 Replace the function and object name as necessary.
12
13 extern int MODIFY_FUNCTION (
14 semanage_handle_t *handle,
15 const semanage_OBJECT_key_t *key,
16 const semanage_OBJECT_t *data);

20 Behavior:
21 If a matching key is found in the local store, the provided
22 object will replace the current one. Otherwise, it will be added
23 to the store. When semanage_commit(3) is invoked, changes will
24 be permanently written into the local store, and then loaded
25 into policy. Validity of the object being added is checked at
26 commit time. Adding new objects with respect to policy is
27 allowed, except in the case of booleans. Attempt to add new
28 booleans with respect to policy will fail at commit time.

31 Parameters:
32 The handle is used to track persistent state across semanage
33 calls, and for error reporting. The key identifies the data
34 object, which will be written into the store. The key are data
35 are properties of the caller, and are not stored or modified
36 internally.

39 Requirements:
40 This function requires an semanage connection to be established
41 (see semanage_connect(3) ), and must be executed in a transac‐
42 tion (see semanage_begin_transaction(3) ).

46 In case of failure, -1 is returned, and the semanage error callback is
47 invoked, describing the error. Otherwise 0 is returned.
