DESCRIPTION
     The jail library is an interface to the jail_set(2) and jail_get(2) sys‐
     tem calls, and the security.jail.param MIB entries.  It simplifies the
     conversion of prison parameters between internal and string formats,
     allowing the setting and querying of prisons without knowing the parame‐
     ter formats.

     The jail_getid() function returns the JID of the jail identified by name,
     or -1 if the jail does not exist.

     The jail_getname() function returns the name of the jail identified by
     jid, or NULL if the jail does not exist.

     The jail_setv() function takes a null-terminated list of name and value
     strings, and passes it to jail_set(2).

     The jail_getv() function takes a null-terminated list of name and value
     strings, and passes it to jail_get(2).  It is the caller's responsibility
     to ensure that the value strings point to buffers large enough to hold
     the string representation of the returned parameters.

     The jailparam_all() function sets jpp to a list of all known jail parame‐
     ters, and returns the number of parameters.  The list should later be
     freed with jailparam_free() and free(3).

     The jailparam_init() function clears a parameter record and copies the
     name to it.  After use, it should be freed with jailparam_free().

     The jailparam_import() function adds a value to a parameter record, con‐
     verting it from a string to its native form.  The jailparam_import_raw()
     function adds a value without performing any conversion.

     The jailparam_set() function passes a list of parameters to jail_set(2).
     The parameters are assumed to have been created with jailparam_init() and
     jailparam_import().

     The jailparam_get() function function passes a list of parameters to
     jail_get(2).  The parameters are assumed to have been created with
     jailparam_init() or jailparam_list(), with one parameter (the key) having
     been given a value with jailparam_import().

     The jailparam_export() function returns the string equivalent of a param‐
     eter value.  The returned string should freed after use.

     The jailparam_free() function frees the stored names and values in a
     parameter list.  If the list itself came from jailparam_all(), it should
     be freed as well.

EXAMPLES
     Set the hostname of jail “foo” to “foo.bar”:

	   jail_setv(JAIL_UPDATE, "name", "foo", "host.hostname", "foo.bar",
	       NULL);

     OR:

	   struct jailparam params[2];
	   jailparam_init(¶ms[0], "name");
	   jailparam_import(¶ms[0], "foo");
	   jailparam_init(¶ms[1], "host.hostname");
	   jailparam_import(¶ms[1], "foo.bar");
	   jailparam_set(params, 2, JAIL_UPDATE);
	   jailparam_free(params, 2);

     Retrieve the hostname of jail “foo”:

	   char hostname[MAXHOSTNAMELEN];
	   jail_getv(0, "name", "foo", "host.hostname", hostname, NULL);

     OR:

	   struct jailparam params[2];
	   jailparam_init(¶ms[0], "name");
	   jailparam_import(¶ms[0], "foo");
	   jailparam_init(¶ms[1], "host.hostname");
	   jailparam_get(params, 2, 0);
	   hostname = jailparam_export(¶ms[1]);
	   jailparam_free(params, 2);
	   free(hostname);

RETURN VALUES
     The jail_getid(), jail_setv(), jail_getv(), jailparam_set() and
     jailparam_get() functions return a JID on success, or -1 on error.

     The jail_getname() and jailparam_export() functions return a dynamically
     allocated string on success, or NULL on error.

     The jailparam_all() function returns the number of parameters on success,
     or -1 on error.

     The jailparam_init(), jailparam_import() and jailparam_import_raw() func‐
     tions return 0 on success, or -1 on error.

     Whenever an error is returned, errno is set, and the global string
     jail_errmsg contains a descrption of the error, possibly from jail_set(2)
     or jail_get(2).

ERRORS
     The jail functions may return errors from jail_set(2), jail_get(2),
     malloc(3) or sysctl(3).  In addition, the following errors are possible:

     [EINVAL]		A prameter value cannot be convert from the passed
			string to its internal form.

     [ENOENT]		The named parameter does not exist.

     [ENOENT]		A parameter is of an unknown type.

     The jail library first appeared in FreeBSD 8.0.
