I guess context_to_string() on the context structure would work better for your
purposes. sepol_sid_to_context() would require loading the sidtab via
policydb_load_isids() and setting the internal policydb to the one you loaded
via sepol_set_policydb().

From what I can see the only ways for you to get the context of a specifically
named initial sid, is to:
1) If working on the active policy then read /sys/fs/selinux/initial_contexts
for the specific name.
2) If working on a binary policy that has been loaded by libsepol for
investigation, then I guess the official answer would be "you cannot do
this", simply because the names are not held in the binary policy.
What you could do is:
a) Load the initial_sid_to_string.h or the policy initial_sids file and search
through it for a match. This will give the offset and would (by magic) give
the initial SID value (e.g. "file" = 5) as it just so happens that the
initial SIDs start at '1' in a standard SELinux system. You can then obtain
the context string.
b) Or you could just say they start at 1 and I know "file" is the 5th entry !!
c) Modify policy, kernel etc. to add the names.
Unless someone knows another way !!!!
