ACL_DELETE_DEF_FILE(3)

NAME

acl_delete_def_file -- delete a default ACL by filename

LIBRARY

Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/acl.h>

int
acl_delete_def_file(const char *path_p);

DESCRIPTION

The acl_delete_def_file() function deletes a default ACL from the directory whose pathname is pointed to by the argument path_p.

The effective user ID of the process must match the owner of the file or directory or the process must have the CAP_FOWNER capability for the
request to succeed.

If the argument path_p is not a directory, then the function fails. It is no error if the directory whose pathname is pointed to by the argument
path_p does not have a default ACL.

RETURN VALUE

The acl_delete_def_file() function returns the value 0 if successful;
otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_delete_def_file() function returns the value -1 and and sets errno to the corresponding value:

[EINVAL] The file referred to by path_p is not a directory.

[ENOTSUP] The file system on which the file identified by path_p
is located does not support ACLs, or ACLs are disabled.
[EPERM] The process does not have appropriate privilege to
perform the operation to delete the default ACL.
[EROFS] This function requires modification of a file system
which is currently read-only.

STANDARDS
