bsde_parse_rule(3)

bsde_parse_rule3

Parse file system firewall rules

Usage

#include <ugidfw.h>

int

bsde_parse_rule(int argc, char *argv[], struct mac_bsdextended_rule *rule, size_t buflen, char *errstr);

int

bsde_parse_rule_string(const char *string, struct mac_bsdextended_rule *rule, size_t buflen, char *errstr);

Library

library “libugidfw”

Overview

The bsde_parse_rule() function parses an argument vector (e.g. argv as passed to main()) into rule. If an error occurs, *errstr is filled in with the error string (up to errlen characters, including the terminating NUL).

The bsde_parse_rule_string() function is identical to bsde_parse_rule(), except that it parses a single string rather than an array of arguments.

Return values

The bsde_parse_rule_string() and bsde_parse_rule() functions return 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the value of *errstr is filled in as documented in DESCRIPTION.
