security_disable(3)                 SELinux API documentation                 security_disable(3)



NAME
       security_disable - disable the SELinux kernel code at runtime

SYNOPSIS
       #include <selinux/selinux.h>

       int security_disable(void);

DESCRIPTION
       security_disable()   disables   the   SELinux  kernel  code,  unregisters  selinuxfs  from
       /proc/filesystems, and then unmounts /selinux.

       This function can only be called at runtime and prior to the initial  policy  load.  After
       the  initial  policy  load, the SELinux kernel code cannot be disabled, but only placed in
       "permissive" mode by using security_setenforce(3).

RETURN VALUE
       security_disable() returns zero on success or -1 on error.
