HEXTOB(3TSOL) Trusted Extensions Library Functions HEXTOB(3TSOL)

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

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);

These functions convert hexadecimal string representations of internal label values into binary labels.

The htobsl() function converts into a binary sensitivity label, a hexadecimal string of the form:


0xsensitivity_label_hexadecimal_value

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


0xclearance_hexadecimal_value

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

These functions are obsolete and retained for ease of porting. They might be removed in a future Solaris Trusted Extensions release. Use the str_to_label(3TSOL) function instead.

libtsol(3LIB), str_to_label(3TSOL), attributes(7), labels(7)

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