acl_get(3SEC)					       File Access Control Library Functions					     acl_get(3SEC)

NAME

       acl_get, facl_get, acl_set, facl_set - get or set a file's Access Control List (ACL)

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lsec [ library... ]
       #include <sys/acl.h>

       int *acl_get(const char *path, int flag, acl_t **aclp);

       int *facl_get(int fd, int flag, acl_t **aclp);

       int acl_set(const char *path, acl_t *aclp);

       int facl_set(int fd, acl_t *aclp);

DESCRIPTION

       The  acl_get()  and  facl_get()	functions retrieve an Access Control List (ACL) of a file whose name is given by path or referenced by the
       open file descriptor fd. The flag argument specifies whether a trivial ACL should be retrieved. When the flag argument  is  ACL_NO_TRIVIAL,
       only ACLs that are not trivial will be retrieved. The ACL is returned in the aclp argument.

       The  acl_set()  and  facl_set()	functions are used for setting an ACL of a file whose name is given by path or referenced by the open file
       descriptor fd. The aclp argument specifies the ACL to set.

       The acl_get() and acl_set() functions support multiple types of ACLs.  When possible, the acl_set() function translates an ACL to the  tar-
       get  file's style of ACL. Currently this is only possible when translating from a POSIX-draft ACL such as on UFS to a file system that sup-
       ports NFSv4 ACL semantics such as ZFS or NFSv4.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, acl_get() and facl_get() return 0 and aclp is non-NULL. The aclp argument can be NULL after successful  comple-
       tion  if  the  file  had a trivial ACL and the flag argument was ACL_NO_TRIVIAL. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the
       error.

       Upon successful completion, acl_set() and facl_set() return 0. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       These functions will fail if:

       EACCES	  The caller does not have access to a component of path.

       EIO	  A disk I/O error has occured while retrieving the ACL.

       ENOENT	  A component of the path does not exist.

       ENOSYS	  The file system does not support ACLs.

       ENOTSUP	  The ACL supplied could not be translated to an NFSv4 ACL.

acl_strip(3SEC) 				       File Access Control Library Functions					   acl_strip(3SEC)

NAME

       acl_strip - remove all ACLs from a file

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lsec [ library... ]
       #include <sys/acl.h>

       int acl_strip(const char *path, uid_t uid, gid_t gid, mode_t mode);

DESCRIPTION

       The  acl_strip() function removes all ACLs from a file and replaces them with a trivial ACL based on the mode argument. After replacing the
       ACL, the owner and group of the file are set to the values specified by the uid and gid arguments.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, acl_strip() returns 0. Otherwise it returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The acl_strip() function will fail if:

       EACCES	       Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix of path.

       EFAULT	       The path argument points to an illegal address.

       EINVAL	       The uid or gid argument is out of range.

       EIO	       A disk I/O error has occurred while storing or retrieving the ACL.

       ELOOP	       A loop exists in symbolic links encountered during the resolution of the path argument.

       ENAMETOOLONG    The length of  the path argument  exceeds {PATH_MAX},   or  the	length	of  a  path  component	exceeds  {NAME_MAX}  while
		       _POSIX_NO_TRUNC is in effect.

       ENOENT	       A component of path does not exist.

       ENOTDIR	       A component of the prefix of path is not a directory.

       EPERM	       The effective user ID does not match the owner of the file and the process does not have appropriate privileges.

       EROFS	       The file system is mounted read-only.
