.Dd December 21, 2001 .Dt MAC_GET 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm mac_get_file , .Nm mac_get_fd , .Nm mac_get_proc .Nd get the label of a file, socket, socket peer or process .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libc .Sh SYNOPSIS n sys/mac.h .Ft mac_t .Fn mac_get_file "const char *path_p" .Ft mac_t .Fn mac_get_fd "int fd" .Ft mac_t .Fn mac_get_proc .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn mac_get_file and .Fn mac_get_fd functions return the MAC label associated with the file referenced by the pathname pointed to by .Fa path_p or the file descriptor specified by .Fa fd , respectively. Note that this function will fail on socket descriptors. For information on getting MAC labels on socket descriptors see .Xr getsockopt 2 . The .Fn mac_get_proc function returns a MAC label associated with the requesting process. .Sh ERRORS l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EACCES A component of .Fa path_p is not searchable, or MAC read access to the file is denied. t Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG The pathname pointed to by .Fa path_p exceeds .Dv PATH_MAX , or a component of the pathname exceeds .Dv NAME_MAX . t Bq Er ENOENT A component of .Fa path_p does not exist. t Bq Er ENOMEM Insufficient memory is available to allocate a new MAC label structure. t Bq Er ENOTDIR A component of .Fa path_p is not a directory. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr mac 3 , .Xr mac_free 3 , .Xr mac_set 3 , .Xr mac_text 3 .Sh STANDARDS POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17. Discussion of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation mailing list. To join this list, see the .Fx POSIX.1e implementation page for more information.
