56and
57.Fn mac_get_fd
58functions fill in
59.Fa label
60(which must first be allocated by
61.Xr mac_prepare 3 )
62with the MAC label associated with the file referenced by
63.Fa path
64or the file descriptor specified by
65.Fa fd ,
66respectively.
67Note that this function will fail on socket descriptors.
68For information on
69getting MAC labels on socket descriptors see
70.Xr getsockopt 2 .
