NAME
jail_getid, jail_getname, jail_setv, jail_getv, jailparam_all, jailparam_init, jailparam_import, jailparam_import_raw, jailparam_set, jailparam_get, jailparam_export, jailparam_free -- create and manage system jails LIBRARY
Jail Library (libjail, -ljail) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h> #include <sys/jail.h> #include <jail.h> extern char jail_errmsg[]; int jail_getid(const char *name); char * jail_getname(int jid); int jail_setv(int flags, ...); int jail_getv(int flags, ...); int jailparam_all(struct jailparam **jpp); int jailparam_init(struct jailparam *jp, const char *name); int jailparam_import(struct jailparam *jp, const char *value); int jailparam_import_raw(struct jailparam *jp, void *value, size_t valuelen); int jailparam_set(struct jailparam *jp, unsigned njp, int flags); int jailparam_get(struct jailparam *jp, unsigned njp, int flags); char * jailparam_export(struct jailparam *jp); void jailparam_free(struct jailparam *jp, unsigned njp); DESCRIPTION
The jail library is an interface to the jail_set(2) and jail_get(2) system calls, and the security.jail.param MIB entries. It simplifies the conversion of prison parameters between internal and string formats, allowing the setting and querying of prisons without knowing the parame- ter formats. The jail_getid() function returns the JID of the jail identified by name, or -1 if the jail does not exist. The jail_getname() function returns the name of the jail identified by jid, or NULL if the jail does not exist. The jail_setv() function takes a null-terminated list of name and value strings, and passes it to jail_set(2). The jail_getv() function takes a null-terminated list of name and value strings, and passes it to jail_get(2). It is the caller's responsi- bility to ensure that the value strings point to buffers large enough to hold the string representation of the returned parameters. The jailparam_all() function sets jpp to a list of all known jail parameters, and returns the number of parameters. The list should later be freed with jailparam_free() and free(3). The jailparam_init() function clears a parameter record and copies the name to it. After use, it should be freed with jailparam_free(). The jailparam_import() function adds a value to a parameter record, converting it from a string to its native form. The jailparam_import_raw() function adds a value without performing any conversion. The jailparam_set() function passes a list of parameters to jail_set(2). The parameters are assumed to have been created with jailparam_init() and jailparam_import(). The jailparam_get() function passes a list of parameters to jail_get(2). The parameters are assumed to have been created with jailparam_init() or jailparam_list(), with one parameter (the key) having been given a value with jailparam_import(). The jailparam_export() function returns the string equivalent of a parameter value. The returned string should be freed after use. The jailparam_free() function frees the stored names and values in a parameter list. If the list itself came from jailparam_all(), it should be freed as well. RETURN VALUES
The jail_getid(), jail_setv(), jail_getv(), jailparam_set() and jailparam_get() functions return a JID on success, or -1 on error. The jail_getname() and jailparam_export() functions return a dynamically allocated string on success, or NULL on error. The jailparam_all() function returns the number of parameters on success, or -1 on error. The jailparam_init(), jailparam_import() and jailparam_import_raw() functions return 0 on success, or -1 on error. Whenever an error is returned, errno is set, and the global string jail_errmsg contains a description of the error, possibly from jail_set(2) or jail_get(2). EXAMPLES
Set the hostname of jail ``foo'' to ``foo.bar'': jail_setv(JAIL_UPDATE, "name", "foo", "host.hostname", "foo.bar", NULL); OR: struct jailparam params[2]; jailparam_init(&params[0], "name"); jailparam_import(&params[0], "foo"); jailparam_init(&params[1], "host.hostname"); jailparam_import(&params[1], "foo.bar"); jailparam_set(params, 2, JAIL_UPDATE); jailparam_free(params, 2); Retrieve the hostname of jail ``foo'': char hostname[MAXHOSTNAMELEN]; jail_getv(0, "name", "foo", "host.hostname", hostname, NULL); OR: struct jailparam params[2]; jailparam_init(&params[0], "name"); jailparam_import(&params[0], "foo"); jailparam_init(&params[1], "host.hostname"); jailparam_get(params, 2, 0); hostname = jailparam_export(&params[1]); jailparam_free(params, 2); ... free(hostname); ERRORS
The jail functions may return errors from jail_set(2), jail_get(2), malloc(3) or sysctl(3). In addition, the following errors are possible: [EINVAL] A parameter value cannot be converted from the passed string to its internal form. [ENOENT] The named parameter does not exist. [ENOENT] A parameter is of an unknown type. SEE ALSO
