Label Builder APIs

Solaris Trusted Extensions provides a set of Motif based APIs. You can use these interfaces to create an interactive GUI to build valid sensitivity labels or clearances from user input. These interfaces are called the Label Builder APIs. These APIs are most often called from within administrative applications.

The Label Builder GUIs are used in a system that is configured with Solaris Trusted Extensions. The Solaris Trusted Extensions User’s Guide describes these interfaces from the end user's point of view, as well as the functionality that is provided by the Label Builder library routines.

For examples of how the Trusted Extensions APIs are used in the Solaris OS, see the Solaris source code. Go to the Open Solaris web site and click Source Browser in the left navigation bar. Use the Source Browser to search through the Solaris source code.
