Words

Words are components of labels other than the classification. While all types of labels use the same classifications, the words used for each type of label can be different, even when they are encoded with the same bits and literally refer to the same thing.

• Compartments (in all types of labels)

  See "Compartments".

For each section for each type of label, the following table shows the subsections in the label_encodings(4) file that define the words in the label and that optionally restrict how the words can be used together.
