29.Dt VOP_SETACL 9
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm VOP_SETACL
33.Nd set the access control list for a vnode
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.In sys/param.h
36.In sys/vnode.h
37.In sys/acl.h
38.Ft int
39.Fn VOP_SETACL "struct vnode *vp" "acl_type_t type" "struct acl *aclp" "struct ucred *cred" "struct thread *td"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41This vnode call may be used to set the access control list (ACL) for a file
42or directory.
43.Pp
44Its arguments are:
45.Bl -tag -width type
46.It Fa vp
47The vnode of the file or directory.
48.It Fa type
49The type of ACL to set.
50.It Fa aclp
51A pointer to an ACL structure from which to retrieve the ACL data.
52.It Fa cred
53The user credentials to use in authorizing the request.
54.It Fa td
55The thread setting the ACL.
56.El
57.Pp
58The
59.Fa aclp
60pointer may be
61.Dv NULL
62to indicate that the specified ACL should be deleted.
63.Pp
64The
65.Fa cred
66pointer may be
67.Dv NULL
68to indicate that access control checks are not to be performed, if possible.
69This cred setting might be used to allow the kernel to authorize ACL
70changes that the active process might not be permitted to make.
71.Pp
72The vnode ACL interface defines the syntax, and not semantics, of file and
73directory ACL interfaces.
74More information about ACL management in kernel
75may be found in
76.Xr acl 9 .
77.Sh LOCKS
78The vnode will be locked on entry and should remain locked on return.
79.Sh RETURN VALUES
80If the ACL is successfully set, then zero is returned.
81Otherwise, an appropriate error code is returned.
82.Sh ERRORS
83.Bl -tag -width Er
84.It Bq Er EINVAL
85The ACL type passed is invalid for this vnode, or the ACL data is invalid.
86.It Bq Er EACCES
87The caller does not have the appropriate privilege.
88.It Bq Er ENOMEM
89Sufficient memory is not available to fulfill the request.
90.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
91The file system does not support
92.Fn VOP_SETACL .
93.It Bq Er ENOSPC
94The file system is out of space.
95.It Bq Er EROFS
96The file system is read-only.
