6*d7b6918eSStephen Smalley
7*d7b6918eSStephen Smalley	The selinuxfs "user" node allows userspace to request a list
8*d7b6918eSStephen Smalley	of security contexts that can be reached for a given SELinux
9*d7b6918eSStephen Smalley	user from a given starting context. This was used by libselinux
10*d7b6918eSStephen Smalley	when various login-style programs requested contexts for
11*d7b6918eSStephen Smalley	users, but libselinux stopped using it in 2020.
12*d7b6918eSStephen Smalley	Kernel support will be removed no sooner than Dec 2025.
