NAME

       acl_delete_def_file - Deletes the default access ACL from the designated directory

LIBRARY

       Security Library (libpacl.a)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/acl.h> int acl_delete_def_file(
	    char *path_p);

PARAMETERS

       Designates the path of the directory that the default access ACL is to be deleted from.

DESCRIPTION

       NOTE:  This function is based on Draft 13 of the POSIX P1003.6 standard.

       The acl_delete_def_file() function deletes the default access ACL from the directory designated by path_p.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, the acl_delete_def_file() function returns a value of 0 (zero).  Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno
       is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_delete_def_file() function sets errno to the corresponding value:

       A component of the path_p parameter has search permission denied.  The length of the path_p parameter exceeds PATH_MAX or a pathname compo-
       nent is longer than NAME_MAX.  The named file does not exist or is an empty string.

       A  symbolic  link  was  named,  but  the file to which it refers does not exist.  The path_p parameter is not pointing to a directory.  The
       directory referenced by the path_p parameter does not reside on a file system that supports ACLs.  The user  does  not  have  the  required
       access  to  the	directory to remove the default access ACL.  The directory referred to by the path_p parameter resides on a read-only file
       system.

NAME

     acl_delete_def_file -- delete a default ACL by filename

LIBRARY

     Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/acl.h>

     int
     acl_delete_def_file(const char *path_p);

DESCRIPTION

     The acl_delete_def_file() function deletes a default ACL from the directory whose pathname is pointed to by the argument path_p.

     The effective user ID of the process must match the owner of the file or directory or the process must have the CAP_FOWNER capability for the
     request to succeed.

     If the argument path_p is not a directory, then the function fails. It is no error if the directory whose pathname is pointed to by the argu-
     ment path_p does not have a default ACL.

RETURN VALUE

     The acl_delete_def_file() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set
     to indicate the error.

ERRORS

     If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_delete_def_file() function returns the value -1 and and sets errno to the corresponding
     value:

     [EINVAL]		The file referred to by path_p is not a directory.

     [ENOTSUP]		The file system on which the file identified by path_p is located does not support ACLs, or ACLs are disabled.

     [EPERM]		The process does not have appropriate privilege to perform the operation to delete the default ACL.

     [EROFS]		This function requires modification of a file system which is currently read-only.

STANDARDS

     IEEE Std 1003.1e draft 17 ("POSIX.1e", abandoned)
