33.Sh NAME
34.Nm acl_is_trivial_np

38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.In sys/types.h
40.In sys/acl.h
41.Ft int
42.Fn acl_is_trivial_np "const acl_t aclp" "int *trivialp"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Fn acl_is_trivial
46function determines whether the ACL pointed to by the argument
47.Va acl
48is trivial.
49Upon successful completion, the location referred to by the argument
50.Fa trivialp
51will be set to 1, if the ACL
52.Fa aclp
53points to is trivial, or 0 if it's not.
54.Pp
55ACL is trivial if it can be fully expressed as a file mode without loosing
56any access rules.
57For POSIX.1e ACLs, ACL is trivial if it has the three required entries,
58one for owner, one for owning group, and one for other.
59For NFSv4 ACLs, ACL is trivial if it has the "canonical six" entries.
60Files that have non-trivial ACL have a plus sign appended after mode bits
61in "ls -l" output.

67.Sh STANDARDS
68POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
69Discussion
70of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
71mailing list.

73.Fx
74POSIX.1e implementation
75page for more information.
76.Sh HISTORY
77POSIX.1e support was introduced in
78.Fx 4.0 .
79The
80.Fn acl_is_trivial_np
81function was added in
