50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51The
52.Fn mac_get_file
53and
54.Fn mac_get_fd
55functions return the MAC label associated
56with the file referenced by
57the pathname pointed to by
58.Fa path_p
59or the file descriptor specified by
60.Fa fd ,
61respectively.  Note this function will
62fail on socket descriptors.  For information on
63getting MAC labels on socket descriptors see
64.Xr getsockopt 2 .
65The
66.Fn mac_get_proc
67function returns a MAC label associated
68with the requesting process.
