75.Sh DESCRIPTION
76The
77.Nm jail
78library is an interface to the
79.Xr jail_set 2
80and
81.Xr jail_get 2
82system calls, and the
83.Va security.jail.param
84MIB entries.
85It simplifies the conversion of prison parameters between internal and
86string formats, allowing the setting and querying of prisons without
87knowing the parameter formats.
88.Pp
89The
90.Fn jail_getid
91function returns the JID of the jail identified by
92.Fa name ,
93or \-1 if the jail does not exist.
94.Pp
95The
96.Fn jail_getname
97function returns the name of the jail identified by
98.Fa jid ,
99or
100.Dv NULL
101if the jail does not exist.
102.Pp
103The
104.Fn jail_setv
105function takes a null-terminated list of name and value strings,
106and passes it to
107.Xr jail_set 2 .
108.Pp
109The
110.Fn jail_getv
111function takes a null-terminated list of name and value strings,
112and passes it to
113.Xr jail_get 2 .
114It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the value strings point
115to buffers large enough to hold the string representation of the
116returned parameters.
117.Pp
118The
119.Fn jailparam_all
120function sets
121.Fa jpp
122to a list of all known jail parameters, and returns the number of
123parameters.
124The list should later be freed with
125.Fn jailparam_free
126and
127.Xr free 3 .
128.Pp
129The
130.Fn jailparam_init
131function clears a parameter record and copies the
132.Fa name
133to it.
134After use, it should be freed with
135.Fn jailparam_free .
136.Pp
137The
138.Fn jailparam_import
139function adds a
140.Fa value
141to a parameter record, converting it from a string to its native form.
142The
143.Fn jailparam_import_raw
144function adds a value without performing any conversion.
145.Pp
146The
147.Fn jailparam_set
148function passes a list of parameters to
149.Xr jail_set 2 .
150The parameters are assumed to have been created with
151.Fn jailparam_init
152and
153.Fn jailparam_import .
154.Pp
155The
156.Fn jailparam_get
157function passes a list of parameters to
158.Xr jail_get 2 .
159The parameters are assumed to have been created with
160.Fn jailparam_init
161or
162.Fn jailparam_list ,
163with one parameter (the key) having been given a value with
164.Fn jailparam_import .
165.Pp
166The
167.Fn jailparam_export
168function returns the string equivalent of a parameter value.
169The returned string should be freed after use.
170.Pp
171The
172.Fn jailparam_free
173function frees the stored names and values in a parameter list.
174If the list itself came from
175.Fn jailparam_all ,
176it should be freed as well.
177.Sh RETURN VALUES
178The
179.Fn jail_getid ,
180.Fn jail_setv ,
181.Fn jail_getv ,
182.Fn jailparam_set
183and
184.Fn jailparam_get
185functions return a JID on success, or \-1 on error.
186.Pp
187The
188.Fn jail_getname
189and
190.Fn jailparam_export
191functions return a dynamically allocated string on success, or
192.Dv NULL
193on error.
194.Pp
195The
196.Fn jailparam_all
197function returns the number of parameters on success, or \-1 on error.
198.Pp
199The
200.Fn jailparam_init ,
201.Fn jailparam_import
202and
203.Fn jailparam_import_raw
204functions return 0 on success, or \-1 on error.
205.Pp
206Whenever an error is returned,
207.Va errno
208is set, and the global string
209.Va jail_errmsg
210contains a description of the error, possibly from
211.Xr jail_set 2
212or
213.Xr jail_get 2 .
214.Sh EXAMPLES
215Set the hostname of jail
216.Dq foo
217to
218.Dq foo.bar :
219.Bd -literal -offset indent
220jail_setv(JAIL_UPDATE, "name", "foo", "host.hostname", "foo.bar",

226struct jailparam params[2];
227jailparam_init(&params[0], "name");
228jailparam_import(&params[0], "foo");
229jailparam_init(&params[1], "host.hostname");
230jailparam_import(&params[1], "foo.bar");
231jailparam_set(params, 2, JAIL_UPDATE);
232jailparam_free(params, 2);
233.Ed
234.Pp
235Retrieve the hostname of jail
236.Dq foo :
237.Bd -literal -offset indent
238char hostname[MAXHOSTNAMELEN];
239jail_getv(0, "name", "foo", "host.hostname", hostname, NULL);

241.Pp
242OR:
243.Bd -literal -offset indent
244struct jailparam params[2];
245jailparam_init(&params[0], "name");
246jailparam_import(&params[0], "foo");
247jailparam_init(&params[1], "host.hostname");
248jailparam_get(params, 2, 0);
249hostname = jailparam_export(&params[1]);
250jailparam_free(params, 2);
251\&...
252free(hostname);
