    unsigned int value_type; 
    char *key; 
    char *value; 
};  

Discussion

This structure specifies module data that is passed in to the TrustedBSD MAC policy module by the kernel module loader. The data is made of up key/value pairs where the key is always a string and the value is a string, binary data or array. An array may be a list of values (actually a similar set of key/value pairs, but in this case the keys are always null), and may also consist of a set of dictionaries, which in turn are made up of a list of key/value pairs.

Module data may be specified in the MAC policy module's Info.plist file as part of the OSModuleData dictionary.

E.g.

OSModuleDatafoobarBeerstypelagerNameAnchor SteamtypealeNameSierra Nevada Pale Ale
