Subject: [PATCH] libselinux: deprecate security_compute_user(), update man
pages
commit 1f89c4e7879fcf6da5d8d1b025dcc03371f30fc9 ("libselinux: Eliminate
use of security_compute_user()") eliminated the use of
security_compute_user() by get_ordered_context_list(). Deprecate
all use of security_compute_user() by updating the headers and man
pages and logging a warning message on any calls to it. Remove
the example utility that called the interface. While here, also
fix the documentation of correct usage of the user argument to these
interfaces.
Fixes: https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/issues/70

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+
+This family of functions can be used to obtain either a prioritized list of
+all reachable security contexts for a given SELinux user or a single default
+(highest priority) context for a given SELinux user for use by login-like
+programs. These functions takes a SELinux user identity that must
+be defined in the SELinux policy as their input, not a Linux username.
+Most callers should typically first call
+.BR getseuserbyname(3)
+to look up the SELinux user identity and level for a given
+Linux username and then invoke one of
+.BR get_ordered_context_list_with_level ()
+or
+.BR get_default_context_with_level ()
+with the returned SELinux user and level as inputs.
