41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.In sys/mac.h
43.Ft int
44.Fn mac_set_file "const char *path" "mac_t label"
45.Ft int
46.Fn mac_set_link "const char *path" "mac_t label"

50.Fn mac_set_proc "mac_t label"
51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52The
53.Fn mac_set_file
54and
55.Fn mac_set_fd
56functions associate a MAC label
57specified by
58.Fa label
59to the file referenced to by
60.Fa path_p ,
61or to the file descriptor
62.Fa fd ,
63respectively.
64Note that when a file descriptor references a socket, label operations
65on the file descriptor act on the socket, not on the file that may
66have been used as a rendezvous when binding the socket.
67The
68.Fn mac_set_link
69function is the same as
70.Fn mac_set_file ,
71except that it does not follow symlinks.
72.Pp
73The
74.Fn mac_set_proc
75function associates the MAC label
76specified by
77.Fa label
78to the calling process.
79.Pp
80A process is allowed to set a label for a file
81only if it has MAC write access to the file,
82and its effective user ID is equal to
83the owner of the file,
84or has appropriate privileges.

87.Sh ERRORS
88.Bl -tag -width Er
89.It Bq Er EACCES
90MAC write access to the file is denied.
91.It Bq Er EBADF
92The
93.Fa fd
94argument
95is not a valid file descriptor.
96.It Bq Er EINVAL
97The
98.Fa label
99argument
100is not a valid MAC label, or the object referenced by
101.Fa fd
102is not appropriate for label operations.
103.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
104Setting MAC labels is not supported
105by the file referenced by
106.Fa fd .
107.It Bq Er EPERM
108The calling process had insufficient privilege
109to change the MAC label.
110.It Bq Er EROFS
111File system for the object being modified
112is read only.
113.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
114.\" XXX POSIX_NO_TRUNC?
115The length of the pathname in
116.Fa path_p
117exceeds

119or a component of the pathname
120is longer than
121.Dv NAME_MAX .

124.Fa path_p
125does not exist.
