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 ATTRIBUTES

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
