+avc_compute_create \- obtain SELinux label for new object.
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"

+.in
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.B avc_compute_create
+is used to compute a SID to use for labeling a new object in a particular class based on a SID pair.  This call is identical to
+.BR security_compute_create ,
+but does not require converting from userspace SID's to contexts and back again.
+
+.B avc_compute_create
+returns a SID for the computed context in the memory referenced by
+.IR sid ,
+incrementing its reference count by 1.
+
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+On success, zero is returned.  On error, \-1 is returned and
+.I errno
+is set appropriately.
+
+.SH "ERRORS"
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+The
+.I tclass
+and/or the security contexts referenced by
+.I ssid
+and
+.I tsid
+are not recognized by the currently loaded policy, or 
+.I tsid
+or
+.I ssid
+has a zero reference count and is invalid.

+.B ENOMEM
+An attempt to allocate memory failed.

+computes a full access vector string representation using

+and security class
