+.Sh LIBRARY

+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/mac.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn mac_get_file "const char *path" "mac_t label"
+.Ft int
+.Fn mac_get_link "const char *path" "mac_t label"

+.Ft int
+.Fn mac_get_pid "pid_t pid" "mac_t label"
+.Ft int
+.Fn mac_get_proc "mac_t label"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn mac_get_file
+system call returns the label associated with a file specified by
+pathname.
+The
+.Fn mac_get_link
+function is the same as
+.Fn mac_get_file ,
+except that it does not follow symlinks.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn mac_get_fd
+system call returns the label associated with an object referenced by
+the specified file descriptor.
+Note that in the case of a file system socket, the label returned will
+be the socket label, which may be different from the label of the
+on-disk node acting as a rendezvous for the socket.
+The
+.Fn mac_get_peer
+system call returns the label associated with the remote endpoint of
+a socket; the exact semantics of this call will depend on the protocol
+domain, communications type, and endpoint; typically this label will
+be cached when a connection-oriented protocol instance is first set up,
+and is undefined for datagram protocols.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn mac_get_pid
+and
+.Fn mac_get_proc
+system calls return the process label associated with an arbitrary
+process ID, or the current process.
+.Pp
+Label storage for use with these calls must first be allocated and
+prepared using the
+.Xr mac_prepare 3
+functions.
+When an application is done using a label, the memory may be returned
+using
+.Xr mac_free 3 .
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EACCES
+A component of
+.Fa path
+is not searchable,
+or MAC read access to the file
+is denied.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
