|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/mac.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn mac_from_text "mac_t *mac" "const char *text"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn mac_to_text "mac_t label" "char **text"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mac_from_text
|
|
function converts the text representation of a label
|
|
into the internal policy label format
|
|
.Pq Vt mac_t
|
|
and places it in
|
|
.Fa *mac ,
|
|
which must later be freed with
|
|
.Xr free 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn mac_to_text
|
|
function allocates storage for
|
|
.Fa *text ,
|
|
which will be set to the text representation of
|
|
.Fa label .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Refer to
|
|
.Xr maclabel 7
|
|
for the MAC label format.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Rv -std mac_from_text mac_to_text
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
POSIX.1e does not define
|
|
a format for text representations
|
|
of MAC labels.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
POSIX.1e requires that text strings allocated using
|
|
.Fn mac_to_text
|
|
be freed using
|
|
.Xr mac_free 3 ;
|
|
in the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
implementation, they must be freed using
|
|
.Xr free 3 ,
|
|
as
|
|
.Xr mac_free 3
|
|
is used only to free memory used for type
|
|
.Vt mac_t .
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
|
|
Insufficient memory was available
|
|
to allocate internal storage.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
|
|
Discussion of the draft
|
|
continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation mailing list.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
Support for Mandatory Access Control was introduced in
|
|
.Fx 5.0
|
|
as part of the
|
|
.Tn TrustedBSD
|
|
Project.
