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.

EACCES
Search permission is denied on a component of the path
prefix of path.


EFAULT

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 a path component exceeds {NAME_MAX} while
_POSIX_NO_TRUNC is in effect.


ENOENT

ENOTDIR
