It is worth noting that the upcoming apparmor 2.10 release will have helper functions (aa_query_file_path and aa_query_file_path_len) that make it easier to query permissions for a file path.

This is particularly useful with trusted helpers where an application requests access to a file and the trusted helper does something with it. For example, on Ubuntu when an app wants to play a music file, it (eventually) goes through the media-hub service. The media-hub service should be able to query if the app's policy has access to the file.
