System Administration Commands                    hextoalabel(1M)



NAME
     hextoalabel - convert an internal text label  to  its  human
     readable equivalent

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/hextoalabel [internal-text-sensitivity-label]


     /usr/sbin/hextoalabel -c [internal-text-clearance]


DESCRIPTION
     hextoalabel converts an internal text label into  its  human
     readable  equivalent  and  writes the result to the standard
     output file. This internal form is often hexadecimal. If  no
     option is supplied, the label is assumed to be a sensitivity
     label.


     If no internal text label is specified, the  label  is  read
     from  the standard input file. The expected use of this com-
     mand is emergency repair of labels that are stored in inter-
     nal databases.

OPTIONS
     -c    Identifies the internal text 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.
