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.Ar 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.Ar jid ,
99or NULL if the jail does not exist.
100.Pp
101The
102.Fn jail_setv
103function takes a null-terminated list of name and value strings,
104and passes it to
105.Xr jail_set 2 .
106.Pp
107The
108.Fn jail_getv
109function takes a null-terminated list of name and value strings,
110and passes it to
111.Xr jail_get 2 .
112It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the value strings point
113to buffers large enough to hold the string representation of the
114returned parameters.
115.Pp
116The
117.Fn jailparam_all
118function sets
119.Ar jpp
120to a list of all known jail parameters, and returns the number of
121parameters.
122The list should later be freed with
123.Fn jailparam_free
124and
125.Xr free 3 .
126.Pp
127The
128.Fn jailparam_init
129function clears a parameter record and copies the
130.Ar name
131to it.  After use, it should be freed with
132.Fn jailparam_free .
133.Pp
134The
135.Fn jailparam_import
136function adds a
137.Ar value
138to a parameter record, converting it from a string to its native form.
139The
140.Fn jailparam_import_raw
141function adds a value without performing any conversion.
142.Pp
143The
144.Fn jailparam_set
145function passes a list of parameters to
146.Xr jail_set 2 .
147The parameters are assumed to have been created with
148.Fn jailparam_init
149and
150.Fn jailparam_import .
151.Pp
152The
153.Fn jailparam_get
154function function passes a list of parameters to
155.Xr jail_get 2 .
156The parameters are assumed to have been created with
157.Fn jailparam_init
158or
159.Fn jailparam_list ,
160with one parameter (the key) having been given a value with
161.Fn jailparam_import .
162.Pp
163The
164.Fn jailparam_export
165function returns the string equivalent of a parameter value.
166The returned string should freed after use.
167.Pp
168The
169.Fn jailparam_free
170function frees the stored names and values in a parameter list.
171If the list itself came from
172.Fn jailparam_all ,
173it should be freed as well.
174.Sh EXAMPLES
175Set the hostname of jail
176.Dq foo
177to
178.Dq foo.bar :
179.Bd -literal -offset indent
180jail_setv(JAIL_UPDATE, "name", "foo", "host.hostname", "foo.bar",
181    NULL);
182.Ed
183.Pp
184OR:
185.Bd -literal -offset indent
186struct jailparam params[2];
187jailparam_init(&params[0], "name");
188jailparam_import(&params[0], "foo");
189jailparam_init(&params[1], "host.hostname");
190jailparam_import(&params[1], "foo.bar");
191jailparam_set(params, 2, JAIL_UPDATE);
192jailparam_free(params, 2);
193.Ed
194.Pp
195Retrieve the hostname of jail
196.Dq foo :
197.Bd -literal -offset indent
198char hostname[MAXHOSTNAMELEN];
199jail_getv(0, "name", "foo", "host.hostname", hostname, NULL);
200.Ed
201.Pp
202OR:
203.Bd -literal -offset indent
204struct jailparam params[2];
205jailparam_init(&params[0], "name");
206jailparam_import(&params[0], "foo");
207jailparam_init(&params[1], "host.hostname");
208jailparam_get(params, 2, 0);
209hostname = jailparam_export(&params[1]);
210jailparam_free(params, 2);
211.Ed
212.Sh RETURN VALUES
213The
214.Fn jail_getid ,
215.Fn jail_setv ,
216.Fn jail_getv ,
217.Fn jailparam_set
218and
219.Fn jailparam_get
220functions return a JID on success, or \-1 on error.
221.Pp
222The
223.Fn jail_getname
224and
225.Fn jailparam_export
226functions return a dynamically allocated string on success, or NULL on error.
227.Pp
228The
229.Fn jailparam_all
230function returns the number of parameters on success, or \-1 on error.
231.Pp
232The
233.Fn jailparam_init ,
234.Fn jailparam_import
235and
236.Fn jailparam_import_raw
237functions return 0 on success, or \-1 on error.
238.Pp
239Whenever an error is returned,
240.Va errno
241is set, and the global string
242.Va jail_errmsg
243contains a descrption of the error, possibly from
244.Xr jail_set 2
245or
246.Xr jail_get 2 .
247.Sh ERRORS
248The
249.Nm jail
250functions may return errors from
251.Xr jail_set 2 ,
252.Xr jail_get 2 ,
253.Xr malloc 3
254or
255.Xr sysctl 3 .
256In addition, the following errors are possible:
257.Bl -tag -width Er
258.It Bq Er EINVAL
259A prameter value cannot be convert from the passed string to its
260internal form.
261.It Bq Er ENOENT
262The named parameter does not exist.
263.It Bq Er ENOENT
264A parameter is of an unknown type.
