LIBRARY

       Security Library (libpacl.a)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/acl.h>
       int acl_delete_def_fd (	    int fd);

PARAMETERS

       Refers to the open file descriptor for 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_fd() function deletes the default access ACL from the directory designated by fd.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon  successful  completion, the acl_delete_def_fd() 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_fd() function sets errno to the corresponding value:

       The parameter fd is not a valid file descriptor open for writing.  The object referenced by fd is not a directory.  The	object	referenced
       by  fd  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 ACL.  The object referred to by fd resides on a read-only file system.
