ACL_EQUIV_MODE(3) Library Functions Manual ACL_EQUIV_MODE(3)
NAME
acl_equiv_mode — check for an equivalent ACL
LIBRARY
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).
SYNOPSIS
<sys/types.h> <acl/libacl.h> int acl_equiv_mode(acl_t acl, mode_t
*mode_p)
DESCRIPTION
The acl_equiv_mode() function checks if the ACL pointed to by the
argument acl contains only the required ACL entries of tag types
ACL_USER_OBJ, ACL_GROUP_OBJ, and ACL_OTHER, and contains no
permissions other that ACL_READ, ACL_WRITE or ACL_EXECUTE. If
the ACL has this form, it can can be fully represented with the
traditional file permission bits, and is considered equivalent
with the traditional file permission bits.
If acl is an equivalent ACL and the pointer mode_p is not NULL,
the value pointed to by mode_p is set to the value that defines
the same owner, group and other permissions as contained in the
ACL.
RETURN VALUE
On success, this function returns the value 0 if acl is an
equivalent ACL, and the value 1 if acl is not an equivalent ACL.
On error, the value -1 is returned, and errno is set
appropriately.
ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_equiv_mode()
function returns the value -1 and sets errno to the corresponding
value:
[EINVAL] The argument acl is not a valid pointer to an
ACL.
STANDARDS
This is a non-portable, Linux specific extension to the ACL
manipulation functions defined in IEEE Std 1003.1e draft 17
(“POSIX.1e”, abandoned).
