ACL_SET(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual ACL_SET(3)
NAME
acl_set_fd, acl_set_fd_np, acl_set_file, acl_set_link_np - set an ACL for
a file
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/acl.h>
int
acl_set_fd(int fd, acl_t acl);
int
acl_set_fd_np(int fd, acl_t acl, acl_type_t type);
int
acl_set_file(const char *path_p, acl_type_t type, acl_t acl);
int
acl_set_link_np(const char *path_p, acl_type_t type, acl_t acl);
DESCRIPTION
The acl_set_fd(), acl_set_fd_np(), acl_set_file(), and acl_set_link_np()
each associate an ACL with an object referred to by fd or path_p. The
acl_set_fd_np() and acl_set_link_np() functions are not POSIX.1e calls.
The acl_set_fd() function allows only the setting of ACLs of type
ACL_TYPE_ACCESS where as acl_set_fd_np() allows the setting of ACLs of
any type. The acl_set_link_np() function acts on a symlink rather than
its target, if the target of the path is a symlink.
Valid values for the type argument are:
ACL_TYPE_ACCESS POSIX.1e access ACL
ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT POSIX.1e default ACL
ACL_TYPE_NFS4 NFSv4 ACL
Trying to set ACL_TYPE_NFS4 with acl branded as POSIX.1e, or
ACL_TYPE_ACCESS or ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT with ACL branded as NFSv4, will
result in error.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
FreeBSD's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
development at this time.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the
value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occur, these functions shall return -1
and set errno to the corresponding value:
[EACCES] Search permission is denied for a component of the
path prefix, or the object exists and the process does
[ENAMETOOLONG] A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or
an entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
[ENOENT] The named object does not exist, or the path_p
argument points to an empty string.
[ENOMEM] Insufficient memory available to fulfill request.
[ENOSPC] The directory or file system that would contain the
new ACL cannot be extended, or the file system is out
of file allocation resources.
[EOPNOTSUPP] The file system does not support ACL retrieval.
[EROFS] This function requires modification of a file system
which is currently read-only.

STANDARDS
POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17. Discussion of the draft
continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation mailing list. To
join this list, see the FreeBSD POSIX.1e implementation page for more
information.
HISTORY
POSIX.1e support was introduced in FreeBSD 4.0, and development
continues.
