NAME

mldrealpath, mldrealpathl- Return the canonicalized absolute pathname, including any MLD adornments and SLD names

SYNOPSIS

cc [flags...] file... -ltsol


#include <sys/param.h>
#include <tsol/mld.h>

char * mldrealpath(const char * path , char * resolved_path);


#include <tsol/label.h>

char * mldrealpathl(const char * path , char * resolved_path, const bslabel_t * sl);

DESCRIPTION

mldrealpath() expands all symbolic links and resolves references to '/./', '/../', extra '/' characters, and MLD translations in the NULL terminated string named by path and stores the canonicalized absolute pathname in the buffer named by resolved_path . The resulting path will have no symbolic links components, nor any '/./', '/../', nor any unadorned MLD s, nor any hidden SLD names for single level directories at the present sensitivity label.

mldrealpathl() operates the same as mldrealpath() except the SLD name is relative to the sensitivity label sl . To specify a sensitivity label for an SLD name which does not exist, the process must assert either the PRIV_FILE_UPGRADE_SL or PRIV_FILE_DOWNGRADE_SL privilege depending on whether the specified sensitivity label dominates or does not dominate the process sensitivity label.

RETURN VALUES

mldrealpath() returns a pointer to the resolved_path on success. On failure, it returns NULL , sets errno to indicate the error, and places in resolved_path the absolute pathname of the path component which could not be resolved.

ERRORS

EACCES

Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix of path .

EFAULT

resolved_path extends outside the process's allocated address space.

ELOOP

Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating path .

EINVAL

path or resolved_path was NULL .

EIO

An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.

ENOENT

The named file does not exist.

ENAMETOOLONG

The length of the path argument exceeds PATH_MAX .

A pathname component is longer than NAME_MAX (see sysconf(3) ) while _POSIX_NO_TRUNC is in effect (see pathconf(2) ).

WARNINGS

It indirectly invokes the readlink(2) system call and mldgetwd(3) library call (for relative path names), and hence inherits the possibility of hanging due to inaccessible file system resources.
