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

NAME

m_label, m_label_alloc, m_label_dup, m_label_free - m_label functions

SYNOPSIS

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


#include <tsol/label.h>

m_label_t *m_label_alloc(const m_label_type_t label_type);


int m_label_dup(m_label_t **dst, const m_label_t *src);


void m_label_free(m_label_t *label);

DESCRIPTION

The m_label_alloc() function allocates resources for a new label. The
label_type argument defines the type for a newly allocated label. The
label type can be:

MAC_LABEL
A Mandatory Access Control (MAC) label.


USER_CLEAR
A user clearance.


The m_label_dup() function allocates resources for a new dst label.
The function returns a pointer to the allocated label, which is an
exact copy of the src label. The caller is responsible for freeing
the allocated resources by calling m_label_free().


The m_label_free() function frees resources that are associated with
the previously allocated label.

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, the m_label_alloc() function returns a
pointer to the newly allocated label. Otherwise, m_label_alloc()
returns NULL and errno is set to indicate the error.


Upon successful completion, the m_label_dup() function returns 0.
Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

The m_label_alloc() function will fail if:

EINVAL
Invalid parameter.


ENOMEM
The physical limits of the system are exceeded by size
bytes of memory which cannot be allocated.
