.Dt ACL_FROM_TEXT 3
|
|
.Os FreeBSD 4.0
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm acl_from_text
|
|
.Nd create an ACL from text
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libposix1e
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/acl.h>
|
|
.Ft acl_t
|
|
.Fn acl_from_text "const char *buf_p"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn acl_from_text
|
|
function converts the text form of an ACL referred to by
|
|
.Va buf_p
|
|
into the internal working structure for ACLs, appropriate for applying to
|
|
files or manipulating.
|
|
|
|
This function may cause memory to be allocated. The caller should free any
|
|
releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by calling
|
|
.Xr acl_free 3
|
|
with the
|
|
.Va (void *)acl_t
|
|
as an argument.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
FreeBSD's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
|
|
development at this time.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, the function shall return a pointer to the
|
|
internal representation of the ACL in working storage. Otherwise, a value
|
|
of
|
|
.Va (acl_t)NULL
|
|
shall be returned, and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
shall be set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
If any of the following conditions occur, the
|
|
.Fn acl_from_text
|
|
function shall return a value of
|
|
.Va (acl_t)NULL
|
|
and set
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to the corresponding value:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er 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.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Va buf_p
|
|
cannot be translated into an ACL.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
|
|
The ACL working storage requires more memory than is allowed by the
|
|
hardware or system-imposed memory management constraints.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
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
|
|
.Fx
|
|
POSIX.1e implementation
|
|
page for more information.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
POSIX.1e support was introduced in
|
|
.Fx 4.0 ,
|
|
and development continues.

.Sh 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.
|
|
|
|
.Fn acl_from_text
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn acl_to_text
|
|
rely on the
|
|
.Xr getpwent 3
|
|
library calls to manage username and uid mapping, as well as the
|
|
.Xr getgrent 3
|
|
library calls to manage groupname and gid mapping. These calls are not
|
|
thread safe, and so transitively, neither are
|
|
.Fn acl_from_text
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn acl_to_text .
|
|
These functions may also interfere with stateful
|
|
calls associated with the
|
|
.Fn getpwent
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getgrent
|
|
calls.
