.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.
|
|
To join this list, see the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
POSIX.1e implementation page
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
Support for Mandatory Access Control was introduced in
|
|
.Fx 5.0
|
|
as part of the
|
|
.Tn TrustedBSD
|
|
Project.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
POSIX.1e specifies that
|
|
.Fn mac_free
|
|
will be used to free text strings created using
|
|
.Xr mac_to_text 3 .
|
|
Because
|
|
.Vt mac_t
|
|
is a complex structure in the
|
|
.Tn TrustedBSD
|
|
implementation,
|
|
.Fn mac_free
|
|
is specific to
|
|
.Vt mac_3 ,
|
|
and must not be used to free the character strings returned from
|
|
.Fn mac_to_text .
|
|
Doing so may result in undefined behavior.
