+What: /sys/fs/selinux/user
+Date: April 2005 (predates git)
+KernelVersion: 2.6.12-rc2 (predates git)
+Contact: selinux@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+
+ The selinuxfs "user" node allows userspace to request a list
+ of security contexts that can be reached for a given SELinux
+ user from a given starting context. This was used by libselinux
+ when various login-style programs requested contexts for
+ users, but libselinux stopped using it in 2020.
+ Kernel support will be removed no sooner than Dec 2025.
