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.
