LIBRARY

       Security Library (libpacl.a)

SYNOPSIS

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

PARAMETERS

       The  pathname  of  the  file  or  directory  to	set  the ACL on.  Designates the type of ACL to set: ACL_TYPE_ACCESS, ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT, or
       ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT_DIR.  Working storage internal representation of the ACL that is being set.

DESCRIPTION

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

       Given a path name to a file or directory, the acl_set_file() function sets the designated ACL.  The type of ACL being set is determined	by
       the  type_d  parameter.	If acl_d is NULL, then the designated ACL is removed from the designated file or directory. The entry pointer used
       by the acl_get_entry() function becomes undefined after a call to the acl_set_file() function.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, the acl_set_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_set_file() function sets errno to the corresponding value:

       The required access to the file was denied.  The named file or directory does not exist.  The argument acl_d does not contain a valid ACL.

       Argument  type_d  does not contain a valid ACL type.  The pathname is longer than allowed.  The directory or file system that would contain
       the new ACL cannot be extended or the file system is out of file allocation resources.  The argument type_d indicates a	default  ACL,  and
       path_p  does  not  point  to a directory.  The designated file or directory resides on a file system that does not support ACLs The process
       does not have the appropriate permissions to perform the operation.

       The setting and changing of ACLs have been disabled by the system administrator.  The designated file or directory resides on  a  read-only
       file system.
