NAME

hextob, htobcl, htobsl, htobil, htobclear- Convert hexadecimal string to binary label

SYNOPSIS

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


#include <tsol/label.h>

int htobcl(const char * s , bclabel_t * label);
int htobsl(const char * s , bslabel_t * label);
int htobil(const char * s , bilabel_t * label);
int htobclear(const char * s , bclear_t * clearance);

DESCRIPTION

These functions convert hexadecimal string representations of internal label values into binary labels.

htobcl() converts into a binary CMW label, a hexadecimal string of the form:

---

0x information_label_hexadecimal_value [0x sensitivity_label_hexadecimal_value ]

---

htobsl() converts into a binary sensitivity label, a hexadecimal string of the form:

---

0x sensitivity_label_hexadecimal_value

---

htobclear() converts into a binary clearance, a hexadecimal string of the form:

---

0x clearance_hexadecimal_value

---

NOTES

Information labels ( IL s) are not supported in Trusted Solaris 7 and later releases. Trusted Solaris software interprets any IL s on communications and files from systems running earlier releases as ADMIN_LOW .

Objects still have CMW labels, and CMW labels still include the IL component: IL[SL] ; however, the IL component is fixed at ADMIN_LOW .

As a result, Trusted Solaris 7 has the following characteristics:

• IL s do not display in window labels; SL s (Sensitivity Labels) display alone within brackets.

• IL s do not float.

• Setting an IL on an object has no effect.

• Getting an object's IL will always return ADMIN_LOW .

• Although certain utilities, library functions, and system calls can manipulate IL strings, the resulting IL s are always ADMIN_LOW , and cannot be set on any objects.
