54The
55.Fn mac_set_file
56and
57.Fn mac_set_fd
58functions associate a MAC label
59specified by
60.Fa label
61to the file referenced to by
62.Fa path_p ,
63or to the file descriptor
64.Fa fd ,
65respectively.
66Note that this function will fail on socket descriptors.
67For information on
68setting MAC labels on socket descriptors see
69.Xr setsockopt 2 .
70The
71.Fn mac_set_link
72function is the same as
73.Fn mac_set_file ,
74except that it does not follow symlinks.
75The
76.Fn mac_set_proc
77function associates the MAC label
78specified by
79.Fa label
80to the calling process.
81.Pp
82A process is allowed to set a label for a file
83only if it has MAC write access to the file,
84and its effective user ID is equal to
85the owner of the file,
86or has appropriate privileges.
