NAME

       bltocolor, bltocolor_r - get character-coded color name of label

SYNOPSIS

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

       #include <tsol/label.h>

       char *bltocolor(const m_label_t *label);

       char *bltocolor_r(const m_label_t *label, const int size,
	    char *color_name);

DESCRIPTION

       The bltocolor() and bltocolor_r() functions get the character-coded color name associated with the binary label label.

       The  calling  process must have PRIV_SYS_TRANS_LABEL in its set of effective privileges to get color names of labels that dominate the cur-
       rent process's sensitivity label.

RETURN VALUES

       The bltocolor() function returns a pointer to a statically allocated string that contains the character-coded color name specified for  the
       label or returns (char *)0 if, for any reason, no character-coded color name is available for this binary label.

       The bltocolor_r() function returns a pointer to the color_name string which contains the character-coded color name specified for the label
       or returns (char *)0 if, for any reason, no character-coded color name is available for this binary label. color_name must  provide  for  a
       string of at least size characters.

FILES

       /etc/security/tsol/label_encodings

	   The label encodings file contains the classification names, words, constraints, and values for the defined labels of this system.

ATTRIBUTES

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

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Interface Stability	     |Obsolete			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |MT-Level		     |MT-Safe with exceptions	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       These  functions  are  obsolete and retained for ease of porting. They might be removed in a future Solaris Trusted Extensions release. Use
       the label_to_str(3TSOL) function instead.

       The bltocolor() function returns a pointer to a statically allocated string. Subsequent calls to it will overwrite that string with  a  new
       character-coded color name. It is not MT-Safe. The bltocolor_r() function should be used in multithreaded applications.

NOTES

       The functionality described on this manual page is available only if the system is configured with Trusted Extensions.

       If label includes a specified word or words, the character-coded color name associated with the first word specified in the label encodings
       file is returned. Otherwise, if no character-coded color name is specified for label, the first character-coded color name specified in the
       label encodings file with the same classification as the binary label is returned.
