acl_get_file(3) 					     Library Functions Manual						   acl_get_file(3)

NAME

       acl_get_file - Given the pathname to a file or directory, retrieve the designated ACL

LIBRARY

       Security Library (libpacl.a)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/acl.h>
       acl_t acl_get_file(	char *path_p);	    acl_type_t type_d);

PARAMETERS

       Designates  the	pathname  to  retrieve	the  ACL  from.   Designates  the  type of ACL to retrieve:  ACL_TYPE_ACCESS, ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT, or
       ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT_DIR.

DESCRIPTION

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

       The acl_get_file() function retrieves the designated ACL via a pathname.  The type of ACL being	retrieved  is  designated  in  acl_type_t.
       Working system storage is allocated as needed.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon  successful  completion, the acl_get_file() function returns a pointer to the working storage internal representation copy of the ACL.
       If the specified ACL type is ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT or ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT_DIR and the specified ACL doesn't exist for the given file  descriptor  a
       value of NULL is returned.  If the specified ACL type is ACL_TYPE_ACCESS and the given file descriptor doesn't have an access ACL a pointer
       to the working storage internal representation copy of the permission bits in ACL format is  returned.	Otherwise,  a  value  of  NULL	is
       returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

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

       The  required  access to the file or directory was denied.  The type_d argument is not a recognized ACL type.  The path name is longer than
       allowed.  The object does not exist.  There is not enough memory available to the process to allocate  the  working  storage.   The  type_d
       argument indicates a default ACL, and path_p does not point to a directory.

NAME

       acl_get_fd - Retrieves the specified ACL associated with the specified file or directory

LIBRARY

       Security Library (libpacl.a)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/acl.h>
       acl_t acl_get_fd(      int fd);	    acl_type_t type_d);

PARAMETERS

       Designates the file descriptor of the file or directory to retrieve the ACL from.  Designates the type of ACL to retrieve: ACL_TYPE_ACCESS,
       ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT, or ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT_DIR.

DESCRIPTION

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

       The acl_get_fd() function retrieves the specified ACL for the given file descriptor.  The acl_tag_t  field  designates  if  the	ACL  being
       retrieved is an access or default ACL.  Working storage is allocated as needed.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, the acl_get_fd() function returns a pointer to the working storage internal representation copy of the ACL.	If
       the specified ACL type is ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT or ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT_DIR and the specified ACL doesn't exist for  the	given  file  descriptor  a
       value of NULL is returned.  If the specified ACL type is ACL_TYPE_ACCESS and the given file descriptor doesn't have an access ACL a pointer
       to the working storage internal representation copy of the permission bits in ACL format is  returned.	Otherwise,  a  value  of  NULL	is
       returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

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

       The  required  access  to  the file or directory was denied.  The fd argument is not a valid file descriptor.  The argument type_d is not a
       recognized ACL type.  There is not enough memory available to the process to allocate the working storage.  The type_d argument indicates a
       default ACL, and fd does not point to a directory.
