|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
.In sys/mac.h
|
||
|
.Ft mac_t
|
||
|
.Fn mac_from_text "const char *text_p"
|

.Fn mac_to_text "mac_t label" "size_t *len_p"
|
||
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn mac_from_text
|
||
|
function converts the text representation of a label
|
||
|
into a
|
||
|
.Vt mac_t ,
|
||
|
which must later be freed with
|
||
|
.Xr mac_free .
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn mac_to_text
|
||
|
function returns
|
||
|
the text representation of
|
||
|
.Fa label
|
||
|
and sets
|
||
|
.Fa *len_p
|
||
|
to the length of the returned string.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
.Fx
|
||
|
uses the following format
|
||
|
for MAC policy text representations:
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
.Dl Sy policy Ns No / Ns Sy qualifier
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Where
|
||
|
.Sy policy
|
||
|
can be one of
|
||
|
.Dq biba ,
|
||
|
.Dq mls ,
|
||
|
or
|
||
|
.Dq te .
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
Valid labels can have the following arguments for
|
||
|
.Sy qualifier ,
|
||
|
depending on the value of
|
||
|
.Sy policy .
|
||
|
.Bl -tag -width "Policy" -offset indent
|
||
|
.It Em Policy
|
||
|
.Em Qualifier
|
||
|
.It biba
|
||
|
.Dq high ,
|
||
|
.Dq low ,
|
||
|
.Dq equal ,
|
||
|
or a numeric grade.
|
||
|
.It mls
|
||
|
.Dq high ,
|
||
|
.Dq low ,
|
||
|
.Dq equal ,
|

|
or a numeric level.
|
||
|
.It te
|
||
|
Types for
|
||
|
.Dq te
|
||
|
consist of a type name which must
|
||
|
neither be empty nor exceed the length limit for the label.
|
||
|
.El
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
All policies must be present
|
||
|
in a comma-separated list,
|
||
|
but may be in any order
|
||
|
(see
|
||
|
.Sx EXAMPLES ) .
|
||
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn mac_from_text
|
||
|
function returns a valid
|
||
|
.Vt mac_t
|
||
|
equivalent to
|
||
|
the MAC label described in
|
||
|
.Fa text_p
|
||
|
upon success, and
|
||
|
.Dv NULL
|
||
|
upon failure, setting
|
||
|
.Va errno
|
||
|
to indicate the error.
|
||
|
.Pp
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.Fn mac_to_text
|

.Fa label
|
||
|
upon success, and
|
||
|
.Dv NULL
|
||

upon failure, setting
|
||
|
.Va errno
|
||
|
to indicate the error.
|
||
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|

The following are valid MAC labels:
|
