BLMINMAX(3TSOL) Trusted Extensions Library Functions BLMINMAX(3TSOL)

NAME

blminmax, blmaximum, blminimum - bound of two labels

SYNOPSIS

cc [flag...] file... -ltsol [library...]


#include <tsol/label.h>

void blmaximum(m_label_t *maximum_label,
const m_label_t *bounding_label);


void blminimum(m_label_t *minimum_label,
const m_label_t *bounding_label);

DESCRIPTION

The blmaximum() function replaces the contents of label maximum_label
with the least upper bound of the labels maximum_label and
bounding_label. The least upper bound is the greater of the
classifications and all of the compartments of the two labels. This
is the least label that dominates both of the original labels.


The blminimum() function replaces the contents of label minimum_label
with the greatest lower bound of the labels minimum_label and
bounding_label. The greatest lower bound is the lower of the
classifications and only the compartments that are contained in both
labels. This is the greatest label that is dominated by both of the
original labels.
