Richard's sample program showed you how to walk it and print out all the entries. The symbolic names themselves aren't in the policydb, as he noted; you can grab it from the kernel source (linux/security/selinux/include/initial_sid_to_string.h) or from the refpolicy (run make in refpolicy/policy/flask and grab kernel/initial_sid_to_string.h).
I was hoping there was something I was missing between what you were posting and Richards sample. Looks like it's all by ordinal, so (conjecturing here) initial sid ordering must match the kernel header ordering as far as I can tell, is that right?
Something must remap it in the kernel from initial sid to class.
I was hoping there would be a clean way to grab this from the policy for use in fs_config tools under build, but just hard coding the default context string seems to be the best approach.
