+.Dt MAC_FREE 3
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mac_free
+.Nd free MAC label
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/mac.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn mac_free "mac_t label"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn mac_free
+function frees the storage allocated to contain a
+.Vt mac_t .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn mac_free
+function always returns 0.
+WARNING: see the notes in the
+.Sx BUGS
+section regarding the use of this
+function.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr mac 3 ,
+.Xr mac_get 3 ,
+.Xr mac_prepare 3 ,
+.Xr mac_set 3 ,
+.Xr mac_text 3 ,
+.Xr mac 4 ,
+.Xr mac 9
+.Sh STANDARDS
+POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
+Discussion of the draft
+continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation mailing list.
+To join this list, see the
+.Fx
+POSIX.1e implementation page
+for more information.
+.Sh HISTORY
+Support for Mandatory Access Control was introduced in
+.Fx 5.0
+as part of the
+.Tn TrustedBSD
+Project.
+.Sh BUGS
+POSIX.1e specifies that
+.Fn mac_free
+will be used to free text strings created using
+.Xr mac_to_text 3 .
+Because
+.Vt mac_t
+is a complex structure in the
+.Tn TrustedBSD
+implementation,
+.Fn mac_free
+is specific to that type, and must not be used to free the character
+strings returned from
+.Fn mac_to_text .
+Doing so may result in undefined behavior,
+including application failure.
