acl_set_file(3) 					     Library Functions Manual						   acl_set_file(3)

NAME

       acl_set_file - Sets the ACL on the file or directory designated by the path name

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.

NAME

       acl_get_fd - Retrieves the specified ACL associated with the specified file or directory

LIBRARY

       Security Library (libpacl.a)

SYNOPSIS

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

PARAMETERS

       Designates the file descriptor of the file or directory to retrieve the ACL from.  Designates the type of ACL to retrieve: ACL_TYPE_ACCESS,
       ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT, or ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT_DIR.

DESCRIPTION

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

       The acl_get_fd() function retrieves the specified ACL for the given file descriptor.  The acl_tag_t  field  designates  if  the	ACL  being
       retrieved is an access or default ACL.  Working storage is allocated as needed.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, the acl_get_fd() function returns a pointer to the working storage internal representation copy of the ACL.	If
       the specified ACL type is ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT or ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT_DIR and the specified ACL doesn't exist for  the	given  file  descriptor  a
       value of NULL is returned.  If the specified ACL type is ACL_TYPE_ACCESS and the given file descriptor doesn't have an access ACL a pointer
       to the working storage internal representation copy of the permission bits in ACL format is  returned.	Otherwise,  a  value  of  NULL	is
       returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_get_fd() function sets errno to the corresponding value:

       The  required  access  to  the file or directory was denied.  The fd argument is not a valid file descriptor.  The argument type_d is not a
       recognized ACL type.  There is not enough memory available to the process to allocate the working storage.  The type_d argument indicates a
       default ACL, and fd does not point to a directory.
