.SH "NAME"
buxton \- A security\-enabled configuration system

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Buxton is a security\-enabled configuration management system\&. It
features a layered approach to configuration storage, with each layer
containing an arbitrary number of groups, each of which may contain
key\-value pairs\&. Mandatory Access Control (MAC) is implemented at
the group level and at the key\-value level\&.

Currently, buxton uses \m[blue]\fBSmack\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2 to
enforce MAC\&.

Buxton provides a C library, documented in \fBbuxton\-api\fR(7), for
client applications to use\&. Internally, buxton uses
\fBbuxtond\fR(8) for processing client requests and enforcing
MAC\&. Also, \fBbuxtonctl\fR(1) is provided for interactive use and
for use in shell scripts\&.

Minimal examples of client API usage are found in
\fBbuxton\-examples\fR(7), and an in\-depth overview of buxton is
found in \fBbuxton\-overview\fR(7)\&.
