Getting Character-Coded Color Names

This example uses the bltocolor(3TSOL) call to get the character-coded color name associated with a sensitivity label of a particular level. The character-coded color names are specified in the label_encodings(4) file.

This example inquires about the character-coded color name associated with Confidential sensitivity labels. The process is running at Confidential so no privileges are needed for the inquiry. The calling process needs the sys_trans_label privilege in its effective set to inquire about labels that dominate the current process's sensitivity label.

#include <tsol/label.h>

main()
{
	int retval, error;
	bslabel_t senslabel;
	char *string = "CONFIDENTIAL";
	char *string1;

	retval = stobsl(string, &senslabel, NEW_LABEL, &error);

	string1 = bltocolor(&senslabel);
	printf("Confidential label color = %s\n", string1);
}

The printf statement prints the following:

Confidential label color = BLUE
