bool xccdf_policy_add_rule ( struct xccdf_policy ,
struct xccdf_select  
) [inherited]

Add rule to Policy.

Returns:
true if rule has been added succesfully
bool xccdf_policy_add_value ( struct xccdf_policy ,
struct xccdf_value_binding  
) [inherited]

Add value binding to the Policy structure.

Returns:
true if rule has been added succesfully
struct xccdf_result * xccdf_policy_evaluate ( struct xccdf_policy policy  )  [read, inherited]

Call the checking engine for each selected rule in given policy structure.

Parameters:
policy given Policy to evaluate
Returns:
true if evaluation pass or false in case of error
Example
Before each policy evaluation user has to register callback that will be called for each check. Every checking engine must have registered callback or the particular check will be skipped. In the code below is used the predefined function oval_agent_eval_rule for evaluation OVAL checks:
 xccdf_policy_model_register_engine_callback(policy_model, "http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5", oval_agent_eval_rule, (void *) usr);
