NAME

acl_set_entry_type_np — set NFSv4 ACL entry type

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

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

int
acl_set_entry_type_np( acl_entry_t entry_d, acl_entry_type_t entry_type);

DESCRIPTION

The acl_set_entry_type_np() function is a non-portable call that sets the type of the ACL entry entry_d to the value referred to by entry_type.

Valid values are:

ACL_ENTRY_TYPE_ALLOW	allow type entry
ACL_ENTRY_TYPE_DENY	deny type entry

This call brands the ACL as NFSv4.

RETURN VALUES

The acl_set_entry_type_np() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

The acl_set_entry_type_np() function fails if:

[ EINVAL]

Argument entry_d is not a valid descriptor for an ACL entry. The value pointed to by entry_type is not valid. ACL is already branded as POSIX.1e.

[ ENOMEM]

The value to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or system-imposed memory management constraints.

STANDARDS

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

HISTORY

POSIX.1e support was introduced in FreeBSD 4.0. The acl_get_entry_type_np() function was added in FreeBSD 8.0.
