NAME
getuserrange - get the label range of a user
SYNOPSIS

cc [flags...] file... -ltsol [library...]

#include <tsol/label.h>

m_range_t *getuserrange(const char *username);
DESCRIPTION

The getuserrange() function returns the label range of username. The lower bound in the range is used as the initial workspace label when a user logs into a multilevel desktop. The upper bound, or clearance, is used as an upper limit to the available labels that a user can assign to labeled workspaces.

The default value for a user's label range is specified in label_encodings(4). Overriding values for individual users are specified in user_attr(4).

RETURN VALUES

The getuserrange() function returns NULL if the memory allocation fails. Otherwise, the function returns a structure which must be freed by the caller, as follows:

m_range_t *range;
 ...
 m_label_free(range->lower_bound);
 m_label_free(range->upper_bound);
 free(range);
ERRORS

The getuserrange() function will fail if:

ENOMEM

The physical limits of the system are exceeded by size bytes of memory which cannot be allocated.
