ACL_TRIVIAL(3SEC) File Access Control Library Functions ACL_TRIVIAL(3SEC)

NAME

acl_trivial - determine whether a file has a trivial ACL

SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag... ] file... -lsec [ library... ]
#include <sys/acl.h>

int acl_trivial(char *path);

DESCRIPTION

The acl_trivial() function is used to determine whether a file has a
trivial ACL. Whether an ACL is trivial depends on the type of the ACL. A
POSIX draft ACL is trivial if it does not have more than MIN_ACL_ENTRIES
entries. An NFSv4/ZFS-style ACL is trivial if it does not have entries
other than owner@, group@, and everyone@, does not have inheritance flags
set, and is ordered in a manner that meets POSIX access control
requirements.

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, acl_trivial() returns 0 if the file's ACL is
trivial and 1 if the file's ACL is not trivial. If it could not be
determined whether a file's ACL is trivial, -1 is returned and errno is
set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

The acl_trivial() function will fail if:

EACCES
A file's ACL could not be read.


ENOENT
A component of path does not name an existing file or path is
an empty string.
