/*
 * selinux_catalog
 *
 * This mapping table enables to translate the name of object classes and
 * access vectors to/from their own codes.
 * When we ask SELinux whether the required privileges are allowed or not,
 * we use security_compute_av(3). It needs us to represent object classes
 * and access vectors using 'external' codes defined in the security policy.
 * It is determined in the runtime, not build time. So, it needs an internal
 * service to translate object class/access vectors which we want to check
 * into the code which kernel want to be given.
