System Administration Commands                  chk_encodings(1M)



NAME
     chk_encodings - check the label encodings file syntax

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/chk_encodings [-a] [-c maxclass] [pathname]


DESCRIPTION
     chk_encodings checks the syntax of the label-encodings  file
     that   is   specified  by  pathname.  With  the  -a  option,
     chk_encodings also prints a semantic analysis of the  label-
     encodings file that is specified by pathname. If pathname is
     not  specified,  chk_encodings  checks  and   analyzes   the
     /etc/security/tsol/label_encodings file.


     If label-encodings file  analysis  was  requested,  whatever
     analysis  can  be provided is written to the standard output
     file even if errors were found.

OPTIONS
     -a             Provide a  semantic  analysis  of  the  label
                    encodings file.


     -c maxclass    Accept a maximum classification value of max-
                    class  (default  255)  in the label encodings
                    file CLASSIFICATIONS section.


EXIT STATUS
     When successful, chk_encodings returns an exit status  of  0
     (true) and writes to the standard output file a confirmation
     that  no  errors  were   found   in   pathname.   Otherwise,
     chk_encodings  returns an exit status of nonzero (false) and
     writes an error diagnostic to the standard output file.

FILES
     /etc/security/tsol/label_encodings

         The label encodings  file  contains  the  classification
         names,  words,  constraints,  and values for the defined
         labels of this system.
