acl_set_fd(3)
NAME
  acl_set_fd - Sets the ACL on the file or directory designated by the file
  descriptor

SYNOPSIS
  #include <sys/acl.h>

  int acl_set_fd(
	  int fd,
	  acl_type_t type_d,
	  acl_t acl_d );

LIBRARY
  Security Library (libpacl.a)

PARAMETERS
  fd  Refers to the open file descriptor of the file or directory to set the
      ACL on.

  type_d
      Designates the type of ACL to set: ACL_TYPE_ACCESS, ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT,
      or ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT_DIR.

  acl_d
      Working storage internal representation of the ACL that is being set.

DESCRIPTION
  NOTE:	 This function is based on Draft 13 of the POSIX P1003.6 standard.

  Given a file descriptor to a file or directory, the acl_set_fd() function
  sets the designated ACL. The type of ACL being set is determined by the
  type_d parameter. If acl_d is NULL then the designated ACL is removed from
  the designated file or directory. The entry pointer used by the
  acl_get_entry() function becomes undefined after a call to the acl_set_fd()
  function.

RETURN VALUES
  Upon successful completion, the acl_set_fd() function returns a value of 0
  (zero).  Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate
  the error.

ERRORS
  If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_set_fd() function sets
  errno to the corresponding value:

  [EACCES]
      The required access to the file was denied.

  [EBADF]
      The fd argument is not a valid file descriptor.

  [EINVAL]
      The acl_d argument does not contain a valid ACL. Argument type_d does
      not contain a valid ACL type number.

  [ENOSPC]
      The directory or file system that would contain the new ACL cannot be
      extended or the file system is out of file allocation resources.

  [ENOTDIR]
      The argument type_d indicates a default ACL, and fd does not point to a
      directory.

  [ENOTSUP]
      The designated file or directory resides on a file system that does not
      support ACLs.

  [EPERM]
      The process does not have the appropriate permissions to perform the
      operation.  The setting and changing of ACLs have been disabled by the
      system administrator.

  [EPERM]
      The designated file or directory resides on a read-only file system.
