btohex(3TSOL) Trusted Extensions Library Functions btohex(3TSOL)
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);
DESCRIPTION
These functions convert binary labels into hexadecimal strings that represent the internal value.
The bsltoh() and bsltoh_r() functions convert a binary sensitivity label into a string of the form:
[0xsensitivity_label_hexadecimal_value]
The bcleartoh() and bcleartoh_r() functions convert a binary clearance into a string of the form:
0xclearance_hexadecimal_value
The h_alloc() function 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.
The h_free() function 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 |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Interface Stability |Obsolete |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|MT-Level |MT-Safe with exceptions |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
The bsltoh(), bcleartoh(), bsltoh_r(), bcleartoh_r(), h_alloc(), and h_free() functions are Obsolete. Use the label_to_str(3TSOL) function
instead.
The bsltoh() and bcleartoh() functions 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. The bsltoh_r() and bcleartoh_r() functions should be used in
multithreaded applications.
