NAME

       acl_set_fd - Sets the ACL on the file or directory designated by the file descriptor

LIBRARY

       Security Library (libpacl.a)

SYNOPSIS

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

PARAMETERS

       Refers  to  the	open  file  descriptor	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 file descriptor to a file or directory, the acl_set_fd() 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_fd() function.

RETURN VALUES

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

       The  required  access to the file was denied.  The fd argument is not a valid file descriptor.  The acl_d argument does not contain a valid
       ACL.

       Argument type_d does not contain a valid ACL type number.  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 fd 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  permis-
       sions 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.
