acl_add_perm(3)

NAME

acl_add_perm - Adds a permission to a set of permissions belonging to an ACL entry

LIBRARY

Security Library (libpacl.a)

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/acl.h> int acl_add_perm( acl_permset_t permset_d acl_perm_t perm_d);

PARAMETERS

permset_d Specifies the permission set of the working storage internal representation of an ACL entry. perm_d Specifies the permission to be added to the permission set (a combination of ACL_EXECUTE, ACL_WRITE, and ACL_READ).

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: This function is based on Draft 13 of the POSIX P1003.6 standard. The function may change as the P1003.6 standard is finalized. The acl_add_perm() function adds the permission specified by perm_dcontained in the perms parameter to the permission set referred to by the permset_d parameter. Any permissions not designated in the perm_d parameter are left unchanged in the ACL entry. An attempt to add a permission already in the permission set is not treated as an error.

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, the acl_add_perm() function returns a value of 0 (zero). Otherwise a value of -1 is returned, and errno is set.

ERRORS

If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_add_perm() function sets errno to the corresponding value: [EINVAL] The perm_d parameter does not refer to a valid ACL entry. The permset_d parameter does not contain valid file permission bits. SH RELATED INFORMATION acl_clear_perm(3),acl_delete_perm(3), acl_get_permset(3), acl_set_permset(3),acl_get_entry(3) Security
