MAC_GET(3)		     Library Functions Manual		      MAC_GET(3)

NAME
     mac_get_file,    mac_get_link,   mac_get_fd,   mac_get_peer,   mac_get_pid,
     mac_get_proc -- get the label of a file, socket, socket peer or process

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/mac.h>

     int
     mac_get_file(const char *path, mac_t label);

     int
     mac_get_link(const char *path, mac_t label);

     int
     mac_get_fd(int fd, mac_t label);

     int
     mac_get_peer(int fd, mac_t label);

     int
     mac_get_pid(pid_t pid, mac_t label);

     int
     mac_get_proc(mac_t label);

DESCRIPTION
     The mac_get_file() system call returns the label  associated  with  a  file
     specified	by  pathname.	The  mac_get_link()  function  is  the	same  as
     mac_get_file(), except that it does not follow symlinks.

     The mac_get_fd() system call returns the label associated	with  an  object
     referenced  by  the  specified file descriptor.  Note that in the case of a
     file system socket, the label returned will be the socket label, which  may
     be  different from the label of the on-disk node acting as a rendezvous for
     the socket.  The mac_get_peer() system call returns  the  label  associated
     with the remote endpoint of a socket; the exact semantics of this call will
     depend on the protocol domain, communications type, and endpoint; typically
     this  label  will be cached when a connection-oriented protocol instance is
     first set up, and is undefined for datagram protocols.

     The mac_get_pid() and mac_get_proc() system calls return the process  label
     associated with an arbitrary process ID, or the current process.

     Label storage for use with these calls must first be allocated and prepared
     using  the  mac_prepare(3)  functions.  When an application is done using a
     label, the memory may be returned using mac_free(3).

ERRORS
     [EACCES]		A component of path is not searchable, or MAC  read  ac-
			cess to the file is denied.

     [EINVAL]		The  requested	label operation is not valid for the ob-
			ject referenced by fd.

     [ENAMETOOLONG]	The pathname pointed to by path exceeds PATH_MAX,  or  a
			component of the pathname exceeds NAME_MAX.

     [ENOENT]		A component of path does not exist.

     [ENOMEM]		Insufficient  memory  is available to allocate a new MAC
			label structure.

     [ENOTDIR]		A component of path is not a directory.
