ACL_GET_FD(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ACL_GET_FD(3) NAME
acl_get_fd -- get an ACL by file descriptor LIBRARY
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl). SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/acl.h> acl_t acl_get_fd(int fd); DESCRIPTION
The acl_get_fd() function retrieves the access ACL associated with the file referred to by fd. The ACL is placed into working storage and acl_get_fd() returns a pointer to that storage. In order to read an ACL from an object, a process must have read access to the object's attributes. This function may cause memory to be allocated. The caller should free any releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by calling acl_free(3) with the (void*)acl_t returned by acl_get_fd() as an argument. RETURN VALUE
On success, this function shall return a pointer to the working storage. On error, a value of (acl_t)NULL shall be returned, and errno is set appropriately. ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_get_fd() function returns a value of (acl_t)NULL and sets errno to the corresponding value: [EBADF] The fd argument is not a valid file descriptor. [ENOMEM] The ACL working storage requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or system-imposed memory management con- straints. [ENOTSUP] The file system on which the file identified by fd is located does not support ACLs, or ACLs are disabled. STANDARDS

ACL_GET_FILE(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ACL_GET_FILE(3) NAME
acl_get_file -- get an ACL by filename LIBRARY
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl). SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/acl.h> acl_t acl_get_file(const char *path_p, acl_type_t type); DESCRIPTION
The acl_get_file() function retrieves the access ACL associated with a file or directory, or the default ACL associated with a directory. The pathname for the file or directory is pointed to by the argument path_p. The ACL is placed into working storage and acl_get_file() returns a pointer to that storage. In order to read an ACL from an object, a process must have read access to the object's attributes. The value of the argument type is used to indicate whether the access ACL or the default ACL associated with path_p is returned. If type is ACL_TYPE_ACCESS, the access ACL of path_p is returned. If type is ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT, the default ACL of path_p is returned. If type is ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT and no default ACL is associated with the directory path_p, then an ACL containing zero ACL entries is returned. If type specifies a type of ACL that cannot be associated with path_p, then the function fails. This function may cause memory to be allocated. The caller should free any releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by calling acl_free(3) with the (void*)acl_t returned by acl_get_file() as an argument. RETURN VALUE
On success, this function returns a pointer to the working storage. On error, a value of (acl_t)NULL is returned, and errno is set appropri- ately. ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_get_file() function returns a value of (acl_t)NULL and sets errno to the corresponding value: [EACCES] Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix or the object exists and the process does not have appro- priate access rights. Argument type specifies a type of ACL that cannot be associated with path_p. [EINVAL] The argument type is not ACL_TYPE_ACCESS or ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT. [ENAMETOOLONG] The length of the argument path_p is too long. [ENOENT] The named object does not exist or the argument path_p points to an empty string. [ENOMEM] The ACL working storage requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or system-imposed memory management con- straints. [ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix 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. STANDARDS
