System Calls

System calls are available to get the SLD name, get MLD adornment, and get SLD or MLD file attribute information.

Get SLD Name

The getsldname(2) system call gets the SLD name for path_name at the specified slabel. Refer to the getsldname(2) man page. The fgetsldname(2) system call uses a file descriptor.

int getsldname(const char *path_name,
	const bslabel_t *slabel,
	char *name_buf,
	const int len);

int fgetsldname(const int fd,
	const bslabel_t *slabel_p,
	char *name_buf,
	const int len);

Get MLD Adornment

The getmldadorn(2) system call gets the fully adorned path name for path_name. The fgetmldadorn(2) system call uses a file descriptor. Refer to the getmldadorn(2) man page.

int getmldadorn(const char *path_name, char *adorn_buf[MLD_ADORN_MAX]);
int fgetmldadorn(const int fd, char adorn_buf[MLD_ADORN_MAX]);

Get Attribute Information for SLD or MLD

The mldstat(3TSOL) system call returns file attribute information on the MLD specified by path_name. The mldlstat(3TSOL) system call returns information on the MLD symbolic link.

int mldstat(const char *path_name, struct stat *stat_buf);
int mldlstat(const char *path_name, struct stat *stat_buf);

Get MLD Attribute Flags

These system calls are described in "Get and Set File System Security Attribute Flags" in Chapter 2, Getting Started. Also, refer to the getfattrflag(2) man page.

int mldgetfattrflag(const char *path, secflgs_t *flags);
int mldsetfattrflag(const char * path, secflgs_t which, secflgs_t flags);
