NAME

btohex, bsltoh, bcleartoh, bsltoh_r, bcleartoh_r, h_alloc, h_free – convert binary label to hexadecimal

Synopsis

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

#include <tsol/label.h>

char *bsltoh(const m_label_t *label);

char *bcleartoh(const m_label_t *clearance);

char *bsltoh_r(const m_label_t *label, char *hex);

char *bcleartoh_r(const m_label_t *clearance, char *hex);

char *h_alloc(const unsigned char type);

void h_free(char *hex);

Interface Level

The bsltoh(), bcleartoh(), bsltoh_r(), bcleartoh_r(), h_alloc(), and h_free() functions are obsolete. Use the label_to_str(3TSOL) function instead.

Description

These functions convert binary labels into hexadecimal strings that represent the internal value.

bsltoh() and bsltoh_r() convert a binary sensitivity label into a string of the form:

[0xsensitivity_label_hexadecimal_value]

bcleartoh() and bcleartoh_r() convert a binary clearance into a string of the form:

0xclearance_hexadecimal_value

h_alloc() allocates memory for the hexadecimal value type for use by bsltoh_r() and bcleartoh_r().

Valid values for type are:

SUN_SL_ID

label is a binary sensitivity label.

SUN_CLR_ID

label is a binary clearance.

h_free() frees memory allocated by h_alloc().

Return Values

These functions return a pointer to a string that contains the result of the translation, or (char *)0 if the parameter is not of the required type.

Attributes

See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

ATTRIBUTE TYPE	ATTRIBUTE VALUE
Availability	SUNWtsu
Stability Level	Obsolete
MT-Level	MT-Safe with exceptions

atohexlabel(1M), hextoalabel(1M),label_to_str(3TSOL), attributes(5), labels(5)

Notes

These functions are obsolete and retained for ease of porting. They might be removed in a future Solaris Trusted Extensions release.

The functions bsltoh() and bcleartoh() share the same statically allocated string storage. They are not MT-Safe. Subsequent calls to any of these functions will overwrite that string with the newly translated string.

For multithreaded applications, the functions bsltoh_r() and bcleartoh_r() should be used.
