73.Sh DESCRIPTION
74The
75.Nm jail
76library is an interface to the
77.Xr jail_set 2
78and
79.Xr jail_get 2
80system calls, and the
81.Va security.jail.param
82MIB entries.
83It simplifies the conversion of prison parameters between internal and
84string formats, allowing the setting and querying of prisons without
85knowing the parameter formats.
86.Pp
87The
88.Fn jail_getid
89function returns the JID of the jail identified by
90.Fa name ,
91or \-1 if the jail does not exist.
92.Pp
93The
94.Fn jail_getname
95function returns the name of the jail identified by
96.Fa jid ,
97or
98.Dv NULL
99if 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.Fa 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.Fa name
131to it.
132After use, it should be freed with
133.Fn jailparam_free .
134.Pp
135The
136.Fn jailparam_import
137function adds a
138.Fa value
139to a parameter record, converting it from a string to its native form.
140The
141.Fn jailparam_import_raw
142function adds a value without performing any conversion.
143.Pp
144The
145.Fn jailparam_set
146function passes a list of parameters to
147.Xr jail_set 2 .
148The parameters are assumed to have been created with
149.Fn jailparam_init
150and
151.Fn jailparam_import .
152.Pp
153The
154.Fn jailparam_get
155function passes a list of parameters to
156.Xr jail_get 2 .
157The parameters are assumed to have been created with
158.Fn jailparam_init
159or
160.Fn jailparam_list ,
161with one parameter (the key) having been given a value with
162.Fn jailparam_import .
163.Pp
164The
165.Fn jailparam_export
166function returns the string equivalent of a parameter value.
167The returned string should be freed after use.
168.Pp
169The
170.Fn jailparam_free
171function frees the stored names and values in a parameter list.
172If the list itself came from
173.Fn jailparam_all ,
174it should be freed as well.
175.Sh RETURN VALUES
176The
177.Fn jail_getid ,
178.Fn jail_setv ,
179.Fn jail_getv ,
180.Fn jailparam_set
181and
182.Fn jailparam_get
183functions return a JID on success, or \-1 on error.
184.Pp
185The
186.Fn jail_getname
187and
188.Fn jailparam_export
189functions return a dynamically allocated string on success, or
190.Dv NULL
191on error.
192.Pp
193The
194.Fn jailparam_all
195function returns the number of parameters on success, or \-1 on error.
196.Pp
197The
198.Fn jailparam_init ,
199.Fn jailparam_import
200and
201.Fn jailparam_import_raw
202functions return 0 on success, or \-1 on error.
203.Pp
204Whenever an error is returned,
205.Va errno
206is set, and the global string
207.Va jail_errmsg
208contains a description of the error, possibly from
209.Xr jail_set 2
210or
211.Xr jail_get 2 .
212.Sh EXAMPLES
213Set the hostname of jail
214.Dq foo
215to
216.Dq foo.bar :
217.Bd -literal -offset indent
218jail_setv(JAIL_UPDATE, "name", "foo", "host.hostname", "foo.bar",

223.Bd -literal -offset indent
224struct jailparam params[2];
225jailparam_init(&params[0], "name");
226jailparam_import(&params[0], "foo");
227jailparam_init(&params[1], "host.hostname");
228jailparam_import(&params[1], "foo.bar");
229jailparam_set(params, 2, JAIL_UPDATE);
230jailparam_free(params, 2);
231.Ed
232.Pp
233Retrieve the hostname of jail
234.Dq foo :
235.Bd -literal -offset indent
236char hostname[MAXHOSTNAMELEN];
237jail_getv(0, "name", "foo", "host.hostname", hostname, NULL);
238.Ed
239.Pp
240OR:
241.Bd -literal -offset indent
242struct jailparam params[2];
243jailparam_init(&params[0], "name");
244jailparam_import(&params[0], "foo");
245jailparam_init(&params[1], "host.hostname");
246jailparam_get(params, 2, 0);
247hostname = jailparam_export(&params[1]);
248jailparam_free(params, 2);
249\&...
250free(hostname);

252.Sh ERRORS
253The
