33.Sh NAME
34.Nm acl_set_fd ,
35.Nm acl_set_fd_np ,
36.Nm acl_set_file ,
37.Nm acl_set_link_np
38.Nd set an ACL for a file
39.Sh LIBRARY
40.Lb libc
41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.In sys/types.h
43.In sys/acl.h
44.Ft int
45.Fn acl_set_fd "int fd" "acl_t acl"
46.Ft int
47.Fn acl_set_fd_np "int fd" "acl_t acl" "acl_type_t type"
48.Ft int
49.Fn acl_set_file "const char *path_p" "acl_type_t type" "acl_t acl"
50.Ft int
51.Fn acl_set_link_np "const char *path_p" "acl_type_t type" "acl_t acl"
52.Sh DESCRIPTION
53The
54.Fn acl_set_fd ,
55.Fn acl_set_fd_np ,
56.Fn acl_set_file ,
57and
58.Fn acl_set_link_np
59each associate an ACL with an object referred to by
60.Va fd
61or
62.Va path_p .
63The
64.Fn acl_set_fd_np
65and
66.Fn acl_set_link_np
67functions are not POSIX.1e calls.
68The
69.Fn acl_set_fd
70function allows only the setting of ACLs of type ACL_TYPE_ACCESS
71where as
72.Fn acl_set_fd_np
73allows the setting of ACLs of any type.
74The
75.Fn acl_set_link_np
76function acts on a symlink rather than its target, if the target of the
77path is a symlink.
78.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
79.Fx Ns 's
80support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
81development at this time.
82.Sh RETURN VALUES
83.Rv -std
84.Sh ERRORS
85If any of the following conditions occur, these functions shall return
86-1 and set
87.Va errno
88to the corresponding value:
89.Bl -tag -width Er
90.It Bq Er EACCES
91Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix, or the
92object exists and the process does not have appropriate access rights.
93.It Bq Er EBADF
94The
95.Va fd
96argument is not a valid file descriptor.
97.It Bq Er EINVAL
98Argument
99.Va acl
100does not point to a valid ACL for this object, or the ACL type
101specified in
102.Va type
103is invalid for this object, or both.
104.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
105A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or an
106entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
107.It Bq Er ENOENT
108The named object does not exist, or the
109.Va path_p
110argument points to an empty string.
111.It Bq Er ENOMEM
112Insufficient memory available to fulfill request.
113.It Bq Er ENOSPC
114The directory or file system that would contain the new ACL cannot be
115extended, or the file system is out of file allocation resources.
116.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
117The file system does not support ACL retrieval.
118.It Bq Er EROFS
119This function requires modification of a file system which is currently
120read-only.

128.Sh STANDARDS
129POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
130Discussion
131of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
132mailing list.
