NAME

       setlabel - move files to zone with corresponding sensitivity label

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/setlabel newlabel filename...

DESCRIPTION

       setlabel  moves	files  into  the zone whose label corresponds to newlabel. The old file pathname is adjusted so that it is relative to the
       root pathname of the new zone. If the old pathname for a file's parent directory does not exist as a directory in the new zone, the file is
       not moved. Once moved, the file might no longer be accessible in the current zone.

       Unless newlabel and filename have been specified, no labels are set.

       Labels  are  defined  by the security administrator at your site. The system always displays labels in uppercase. Users can enter labels in
       any combination of uppercase and lowercase. Incremental changes to labels are supported.

       Refer to setflabel(3TSOL) for a complete description of the conditions that are required to satisfy this command, and the  privileges  that
       are needed to execute this command.

EXIT STATUS

       setlabel exits with one of the following values:

       0    Successful completion.

       1    Usage error.

       2    Error in getting, setting or translating the label.

USAGE

       On  the	command  line, enclose the label in double quotes unless the label is only one word. Without quotes, a second word or letter sepa-
       rated by a space is interpreted as a second argument.

	 % setlabel SECRET somefile
	 % setlabel "TOP SECRET" somefile

       Use any combination of upper and lowercase letters. You can separate items in a label with blanks, tabs, commas or slashes (/). Do not  use
       any other punctuation.

	 % setlabel "ts a b" somefile
	 % setlabel "ts,a,b" somefile
	 % setlabel "ts/a b" somefile
	 % setlabel " TOP SECRET A B   " somefile

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Set a Label.

       To set somefile's label to SECRET A:

	 example% setlabel "Secret a" somefile

       Example 2 Turn On a Compartment.

       Plus and minus signs can be used to modify an existing label. A plus sign turns on the specified compartment for somefile's label.

	 example% setlabel +b somefile

       Example 3 Turn Off a Compartment.

       A minus sign turns off the compartments that are associated with a classification. To turn off compartment A in somefile's label:

	 example% setlabel -A somefile

       If an incremental change is being made to an existing label and the first character of the label is a hyphen (-), a preceding double-hyphen
       (--) is required.

       To turn off compartment -A in somefile's label:

	 example% setlabel -- -A somefile

NAME

       getzonelabelbyid, getzonelabelbyname, getzoneidbylabel - map between zones and labels

SYNOPSIS

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

       #include <tsol/label.h>

       m_label_t *getzonelabelbyid(zoneid_t zoneid);

       m_label_t *getzonelabelbyname(const char *zonename);

       zoneid_t *getzoneidbylabel(const m_label_t *label);

DESCRIPTION

       The getzonelabelbyid() function returns the mandatory access control (MAC) label of zoneid.

       The getzonelabelbyname() function returns the MAC label of the zone whose name is zonename.

       The getzoneidbylabel() function returns the zone ID of the zone whose label is label.

       All of these functions require that the specified zone's state is at least ZONE_IS_READY. The zone of the calling process must dominate the
       specified zone's label, or the calling process must be in the global zone.

RETURN VALUES

       On successful completion, the getzonelabelbyid() and getzonelabelbyname() functions return a pointer to a sensitivity label that  is  allo-
       cated within these functions. To free the storage, use m_label_free(3TSOL). If the zone does not exist, NULL is returned.

       On  successful  completion,  the getzoneidbylabel() function returns the zone ID with the matching label. If there is no matching zone, the
       function returns -1.

ERRORS

       The getzonelabelbyid() and getzonelabelbyname() functions will fail if:

       ENOENT	 The specified zone does not exist.

       The getzonelabelbyid() function will fail if:

       ENOENT	 No zone corresponds to the specified label.

ATTRIBUTES
