@ohos.file.securityLabel (Data Label)

The securityLabel module provides APIs for managing data security levels of files, including obtaining and setting file security levels.

NOTE

The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 9. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

Modules to Import

import securityLabel from '@ohos.file.securityLabel';

Guidelines

Before using the APIs provided by this module to perform operations on files or directories, obtain the path of the file or directory in the application sandbox as follows:

Stage Model

import UIAbility from '@ohos.app.ability.UIAbility';
import window from '@ohos.window';

export default class EntryAbility extends UIAbility {
  onWindowStageCreate(windowStage: window.WindowStage) {
    let context = this.context;
    let pathDir = context.filesDir;
  }
}

FA Model

import featureAbility from '@ohos.ability.featureAbility';

let context = featureAbility.getContext();
context.getFilesDir().then((data) => {
  let pathDir = data;
})

For details about how to obtain the FA model context, see Context.

securityLabel.setSecurityLabel

setSecurityLabel(path:string, type:DataLevel):Promise<void>

Sets a security label for a file in asynchronous mode. This API uses a promise to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.FileManagement.File.FileIO

Parameters

Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
path	string	Yes	Path of the target file.
type	DataLevel	Yes	File security level to set, which can be s0, s1, s2, s3, or s4.

Return value

Type	Description
Promise<void>	Promise that returns no value.

Error codes

For details about the error codes, see Basic File IO Error Codes.

ID	Error Message
13900001	Operation not permitted
13900007	Arg list too long
13900015	File exists

import { BusinessError } from '@ohos.base';
let filePath = pathDir + '/test.txt';
securityLabel.setSecurityLabel(filePath, "s0").then(() => {
  console.info("setSecurityLabel successfully");
}).catch((err: BusinessError) => {
  console.info("setSecurityLabel failed with error message: " + err.message + ", error code: " + err.code);
});

securityLabel.setSecurityLabel

setSecurityLabel(path:string, type:DataLevel, callback: AsyncCallback<void>):void

securityLabel.setSecurityLabel(filePath, "s0", (err: BusinessError) => {
  if (err) {
    console.info("setSecurityLabel failed with error message: " + err.message + ", error code: " + err.code);
  } else {
    console.info("setSecurityLabel successfully.");
  }
});

securityLabel.setSecurityLabelSync

setSecurityLabelSync(path:string, type:DataLevel):void
