Smart ACL management with Eiciel

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:00:00 GMT
The traditional file permission model, where read, write, and execute permissions are set on each file for the user, group, and others (UGO) has one drawback: It can't be used to define per-user or per-group permissions. For that, you need to employ access control lists (ACL). Eiciel is a graphical tool that integrates with the Nautilus file manager and allows for easy ACL management.

acl_dup

ACL_DUP(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						ACL_DUP(3)

NAME

     acl_dup -- duplicate an ACL

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/acl.h>

     acl_t
     acl_dup(acl_t acl);

DESCRIPTION

     The acl_dup() function returns a pointer to a copy of the ACL pointed to by the argument acl.

     This function may cause memory to be allocated.  The caller should free any releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by
     calling acl_free(3) with the (void*)acl_t as an argument.

     Any existing ACL pointers that refer to the ACL referred to by acl shall continue to refer to the ACL.

RETURN VALUES

     Upon successful completion, this function shall return a pointer to the duplicate ACL.  Otherwise, a value of (acl_t)NULL shall be returned,
     and errno shall be set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

     If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_init() function shall return a value of (acl_t)NULL and set errno to the corresponding
     value:

     [EINVAL]		Argument acl does not point to a valid ACL.

     [ENOMEM]		The acl_t to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or system-imposed memory management con-
			straints.

SEE ALSO

     acl(3), acl_free(3), acl_get(3), posix1e(3)

STANDARDS

     POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
