NAME
       hextob, htobsl, htobclear - convert hexadecimal string to binary label

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

       #include <tsol/label.h>

       int htobsl(const char *s, m_label_t *label);

       int htobclear(const char *s, m_label_t *clearance);

       The htobclear() function converts into a binary clearance, a hexadecimal string of the form:

	 0xclearance_hexadecimal_value

RETURN VALUES
       These functions return non-zero if the conversion was successful, otherwise zero is returned.
