42 .In sys/types.h
43 .In sys/acl.h
44 .Ft int
45 .Fn acl_set_fd "int fd" "acl_t acl"
46 .Ft int
47 .Fn acl_set_fd_np "int fd" "acl_t acl" "acl_type_t type"
48 .Ft int
49 .Fn acl_set_file "const char *path_p" "acl_type_t type" "acl_t acl"

51 .Fn acl_set_link_np "const char *path_p" "acl_type_t type" "acl_t acl"
52 .Sh DESCRIPTION
53 The
54 .Fn acl_set_fd ,
55 .Fn acl_set_fd_np ,
56 .Fn acl_set_file ,
57 and
58 .Fn acl_set_link_np
59 each associate an ACL with an object referred to by
60 .Va fd
61 or
62 .Va path_p .
63 The
64 .Fn acl_set_fd_np
65 and
66 .Fn acl_set_link_np
67 functions are not POSIX.1e calls.
68 The
69 .Fn acl_set_fd
70 function allows only the setting of ACLs of type ACL_TYPE_EXTENDED
71 where as
72 .Fn acl_set_fd_np
73 allows the setting of ACLs of any type.
74 The
75 .Fn acl_set_link_np
76 function acts on a symlink rather than its target, if the target of the
77 path is a symlink.
78 .Sh RETURN VALUES
79 .Rv -std
80 .Sh ERRORS
81 If any of the following conditions occur, these functions shall return
82 -1 and set
83 .Va errno
84 to the corresponding value:
85 .Bl -tag -width Er
86 .It Bq Er EACCES
87 Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix, or the
88 object exists and the process does not have appropriate access rights.
89 .It Bq Er EBADF
90 The
91 .Va fd
92 argument is not a valid file descriptor.
93 .It Bq Er EINVAL
94 Argument
95 .Va acl
96 does not point to a valid ACL for this object, or the ACL type
97 specified in
98 .Va type
99 is invalid for this object, or both.
100 .It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
101 A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or an
102 entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
103 .It Bq Er ENOENT
104 The named object does not exist, or the
105 .Va path_p
106 argument points to an empty string.
107 .It Bq Er ENOMEM
108 Insufficient memory available to fulfill request.
109 .It Bq Er ENOSPC
110 The directory or file system that would contain the new ACL cannot be
111 extended, or the file system is out of file allocation resources.
112 .It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
113 The file system does not support ACL retrieval.
114 .It Bq Er EROFS
115 This function requires modification of a file system which is currently
116 read-only.
