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.Pp
79Valid values for the
80.Va type
81argument are:
82.Pp
83.Bl -column -offset 3n "ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT"
84.It ACL_TYPE_ACCESS	POSIX.1e access ACL
85.It ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT	POSIX.1e default ACL
86.El
87.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
88.Fx Ns 's
89support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
90development at this time.
91.Sh RETURN VALUES
92.Rv -std
93.Sh ERRORS
94If any of the following conditions occur, these functions shall return
95-1 and set
96.Va errno
97to the corresponding value:
98.Bl -tag -width Er
99.It Bq Er EACCES
100Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix, or the
101object exists and the process does not have appropriate access rights.
102.It Bq Er EBADF
103The
104.Va fd
105argument is not a valid file descriptor.
106.It Bq Er EINVAL
107Argument
108.Va acl
109does not point to a valid ACL for this object, or the ACL type
110specified in
111.Va type
112is invalid for this object, or both.
113.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
114A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or an
115entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
116.It Bq Er ENOENT
117The named object does not exist, or the
118.Va path_p
119argument points to an empty string.
120.It Bq Er ENOMEM
121Insufficient memory available to fulfill request.
122.It Bq Er ENOSPC
123The directory or file system that would contain the new ACL cannot be
124extended, or the file system is out of file allocation resources.
125.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
126The file system does not support ACL retrieval.
127.It Bq Er EROFS
128This function requires modification of a file system which is currently
129read-only.

137.Sh STANDARDS
138POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
139Discussion
140of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
141mailing list.

146.Sh HISTORY
147POSIX.1e support was introduced in
148.Fx 4.0 ,
149and development continues.
