NAME

       sel_config - selection rules for copy, cut, paste, drag and drop operations

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/dt/config/sel_config

DESCRIPTION

       The  sel_config	file  specifies how a system that is configured with Trusted Extensions behaves when a user transfers data between windows
       that have different labels. Transfer operations include cut-and-paste, copy-and-paste, and drag-and-drop. There are two types of entries in
       this file: automatic confirmation and automatic reply.

   Automatic Confirmation
       This type of entry specifies whether a confirmation window, the selection confirmer, displays. Each entry has the form:

	 relationship: confirmation

       relationship identifies the result of comparing the selected data's source and destination windows' labels. There are three allowed values:

       upgradesl	   The source window's label is less than the destination window's label.

       downgradesl	   The source window's label is higher than the destination window's label.

       disjointsl	   The source and destination windows' labels are disjoint. Neither label dominates the other.

       confirmation specifies whether to perform automatic confirmation. Allowed values are:

       n    Use manual confirmation, that is, display the selection confirmer window. This is the default.

       y    Use automatic confirmation, that is, do not display the selection confirmer window.

   Automatic Reply
       A  single  user	operation  can involve several flows of information between the source and destination windows. The automatic reply set of
       entries provides a means to reduce the number of confirmations that are required of the user.

       There must be one entry of this form:

	 autoreply: value

       If value is y (for yes), then the remaining entries of the set are used as attributes for the selection data (rather than the  actual  con-
       tents) to complete the operation without confirmation. If value is n (for no), then the remaining entries are ignored.

       Defaults can be specified for any type field that appears in the Confirmer window. Below are some sample entries for defaults.

	 replytype: TARGETS
	 replytype: Pixel Sets
	 replytype: LENGTH
	 replytype: Type Of Monitor

       The  TARGETS entry, when used, returns the list of target atoms that are supported by the source window. The Pixel Sets and Type Of Monitor
       entries are used for animation during a drag-and-drop operation. The LENGTH entry specifies the number of bytes in the selection.

NAME

       atohexlabel - convert a human readable label to its internal text equivalent

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/atohexlabel [human-readable-sensitivity-label]

       /usr/sbin/atohexlabel -c [human-readable-clearance]

DESCRIPTION

       atohexlabel  converts a human readable label into an internal text representation that is safe for storing in a public object. If no option
       is supplied, the label is assumed to be a sensitivity label.

       Internal conversions can later be parsed to their same value. This internal form is often hexadecimal. The converted label  is  written	to
       the standard output file. If no human readable label is specified, the label is read from the standard input file. The expected use of this
       command is emergency repair of labels that are stored in internal databases.

OPTIONS

       -c    Identifies the human readable label as a clearance.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	    On success.

       1	    On failure, and writes diagnostics to the standard error file.

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	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWtsu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Interface Stability	     |See below.		   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       The command output is Committed for systems with the same label_encodings file. The command invocation is Committed for systems that imple-
       ment the DIA MAC policy.

NOTES

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

       This  file  is  part  of  the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Mandatory Access Control (MAC) policy. This file might not be applicable to
       other MAC policies that might be developed for future releases of Solaris Trusted Extensions software.
