System Administration Commands                    atohexlabel(1M)



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 con-
     verted 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 data-
     bases.

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 stan-
                  dard error file.


FILES
     /etc/security/tsol/labelencodings

         The label encodings  file  contains  the  classification
         names,  words,  constraints,  and values for the defined
         labels of this system.
