                             const char *name,
                             uint32_t flags)

Arguments:

handle
Handle to the security policy file. Usually NULL, which specifies that the default security policy file is used (either the system default or one set using secpol_open()).

Description:

By default, the type name is assumed to refer to a derived type; that is, a type that is selected based on the process' current type and the name passed in. The name parameter can also represent the actual type name by passing SECPOL_TYPE_NAME in the flags.

Returns:

The type ID that is associated with name based on the current type of the process, or SECPOL_INVALID_TYPE if there is no type ID to return.
