## NAME



           semanage_user - SELinux User Management API
    


## SYNOPSIS



           **#include <semanage/user_record.h>**

           **#include <semanage/users_local.h>**
    
           This object contains properties associated with a SELinux user.
           Typically many Unix users are mapped to the same SELinux user. See
           semanage_seuser(3) for overview of the Unix user API.
    
           For details on a specific function, see its manual page.
