File Manager

In the Trusted Solaris environment, the File Manager has certain limitations on the files (and folders) that it can display. The File Manager displays files at the label of the current workspace. To operate on (or view) files at more than one label at a time, you run the File Manager from workspaces at different labels and then use the Occupy Workspace command to display the different File Managers in the same workspace.

The File Manager lets you change a file or folder's basic permissions, access control list (ACL), and information. You can also move, copy, or link files between File Managers at different labels. For more information on the File Manager and its capabilities, see Chapter 5, Managing Files and Directories.

You can view (but not write to) files and directories that are not at your current workspace label by specifying a pathname with adornments, as in /.MLD.myHomeDir/.SLD.0. However, you can only write to files and directories dominated by your current workspace label.
