5*ad1ac3d7SStephen SmalleyDescription:
6*ad1ac3d7SStephen Smalley
7*ad1ac3d7SStephen Smalley	The selinuxfs "user" node allows userspace to request a list
8*ad1ac3d7SStephen Smalley	of security contexts that can be reached for a given SELinux
9*ad1ac3d7SStephen Smalley	user from a given starting context. This was used by libselinux
10*ad1ac3d7SStephen Smalley	when various login-style programs requested contexts for
11*ad1ac3d7SStephen Smalley	users, but libselinux stopped using it in 2020.
12*ad1ac3d7SStephen Smalley	Kernel support will be removed no sooner than Dec 2025.
