ACL_DELETE(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ACL_DELETE(3)NAME
acl_delete_def_file, acl_delete_fd_np, acl_delete_file_np — delete an ACL
from a file
LIBRARY
library “libposix1e”
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/acl.h>
int
acl_delete_def_file(const char *path_p);
int
acl_delete_file_np(const char *path_p, acl_type_t type);
int
acl_delete_fd_np(int filedes, acl_type_t type);
DESCRIPTION
The acl_delete_def_file(), acl_delete_file_np(), and acl_delete_fd_np()
each allow the deletion of an ACL from a file. acl_delete_def_file() is
a POSIX.1e call that deletes the default ACL from a file (normally a
directory) by name; the other two calls are non-portable extensions that
allow deleting of arbitrary ACL types from a file/directory by either
path name, or by file descriptor.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
DragonFly's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
development at this time.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; 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, these functions shall return -1
and set errno to the corresponding value:
[EACCES] Search permission is denied for a component of the
path prefix, or the object exists and the process does
not have appropriate access rights.
[EBADF] The fd argument is not a valid file descriptor.
[EINVAL] The ACL type passed is invalid for this file object.
[ENAMETOOLONG] A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or
an entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
[ENOENT] The named object does not exist, or the path_p argu‐
ment points to an empty string.
[ENOMEM] Insufficient memory available to fulfill request.
[ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
Argument path_p must be a directory, and is not.
[EOPNOTSUPP] The file system does not support ACL deletion.
[EPERM] The process does not have appropriate privilege to
perform the operation to delete an ACL.
[EROFS] The file system is read-only.

POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17. Discussion of the draft
continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation mailing list. To
join this list, see the FreeBSD POSIX.1e implementation page for more
information.
HISTORY
POSIX.1e support was introduced in FreeBSD 4.0, and development contin‐
ues.

BUGS
These features are not yet fully implemented. In particular, the shipped
version of UFS/FFS does not support storage of additional security
labels, and so is unable to (easily) provide support for most of these
features.
