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.
