30.Os FreeBSD 4.0
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm acl_delete_def_file ,
33.Nm acl_delete_fd_np ,
34.Nm acl_delete_file_np
35.Nd delete an ACL from a file
36.Sh LIBRARY
37.Lb libposix1e
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
40.Fd #include <sys/acl.h>
41.Ft int
42.Fn acl_delete_def_file "const char *path_p"
43.Ft int
44.Fn acl_delete_file_np "const char *path_p" "acl_type_t type"
45.Ft int
46.Fn acl_delete_fd_np "int filedes" "acl_type_t type"
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Fn acl_delete_def_file ,
50.Fn acl_delete_file_np ,
51and
52.Fn acl_delete_fd_np
53each allow the deletion of an ACL from a file.
54.Fn acl_delete_def_file
55is a POSIX.1e call that deletes the default ACL from a file (normally a
56directory) by name; the other two calls are non-portable extensions that
57allow deleting of arbitrary ACL types from a file/directory by either path
58name, or by file descriptor.
59.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
60FreeBSD's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
61development at this time.
62.Sh RETURN VALUES
63In the event of success, 0 is returned.  In the event of failure, -1 is
64returned, and
65.Va errno
66is set to indicate the error.
67.Sh ERRORS
68If any of the following conditions occur, these functions shall return -1
69and set
70.Va errno
71to the corresponding value:
72.Bl -tag -width Er
73.It Bq Er EACCES
74Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix, or the
75object exists and the process does not have appropriate access rights.
76.It Bq Er EBADF
77The
78.Va fd
79argument is not a valid file descriptor.
80.It Bq Er EINVAL
81The ACL type passed is invalid for this file object.
82.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
83A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or an
84entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
85.It Bq Er ENOENT
86The named object does not exist, or the
87.Va path_p
88argument points to an empty string.
89.It Bq Er ENOMEM
90Insufficient memory available to fulfill request.
91.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
92A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
93
94Argument
95.Va path_p
96must be a directory, and is not.
97.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
98The file system does not support ACL deletion.
99.It Bq Er EPERM
100The process does not have appropriate privilege to perform the operation
101to delete an ACL.
102.It Bq Er EROFS
103The file system is read-only.

110.Sh STANDARDS
111POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.  Discussion
112of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
113mailing list.  To join this list, see the
114.Fx
115POSIX.1e implementation
116page for more information.
117.Sh HISTORY
118POSIX.1e support was introduced in
119.Fx 4.0 ,
120and development continues.

122.An Robert N M Watson
123.Sh BUGS
124These features are not yet fully implemented.  In particular, the shipped
125version of UFS/FFS does not support storage of additional security labels,
126and so is unable to (easily) provide support for most of these features.
