One of the developers at my customers site asked about l_pars.
It seems he wants to be able to pass an ascii represetation of a
Classification level, with compartments, and check for it validaty.
I thought I wrote a test program like this for them once before, but he
was interested in l_pars as a tool toward doing this. He read some Miter
documentation that said 'l_pars' would check the input for validaty without
effecting the input level???
I looked high and low for some mention of this command but found none.
Could someone enlighten me on it. Does it or some cousin exist within MLS+?
Thanks........

| 485.1 | it is not a command, it is a library routine | SMURF::BAT | Segui la tua beatitudine | Wed Apr 23 1997 14:56 | 8 |
In the libsecurity library there are some routines that Mitre wrote
(they are the foundation for the "Compartmented Mode Workstation
Labeling: Encodings Format" DDS-2600-6216-93 is what my copy is
labelled, no pun intended). l_parse() is one of them.
Yes, your customer's code can call these library routines. I do not
know if Mitre gave us any man pages for their routines; if not, I'll
post or send you a pointer to the code.

Also, please have him read the mand(3), ilb(3) and clearance(3) man pages
for the routines:
{mand,sen}_er_to_ir
clearance_er_to_ir
ilb_er_to_ir
They may be what he wants. These all call mand_parse, which calls
l_parse. And they are documented.
But remind me to get the Mitre routines docs if they want them.
