parrot_setacl(1)

💅 parrot_setacl — the ACL glow-up page

okay bestie, welcome to parrot_setacl(1) — a tiny little tool with main character energy. she sets ACL info for the Parrot filesystem, and she is so real for that. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

parrot_setacl <path> <subject> <rights>

three args, that's it. no notes. 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: parrot_setacl uses Parrot system calls to set the access control list (ACL) info for the directory you point at with <path>. she's basically the bouncer at the club door, deciding who gets in. 👑

• <path> — the directory whose ACL info is getting set. that's the venue, bestie.
• <subject> — the entity to authorize. who's on the guest list, iykyk.
• <rights> — the level of access, and it has to be one of these four:
  • read
  • write
  • admin
  • none

and like. she cannot do this alone. 🥺

the vibe check: this program only works if it is executed under parrot_run(1) and if the underlying filesystem actually supports ACLs. both. not one. both. if either is missing, it's giving nothing, fr fr.

---

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

• success — returns zero. we love a clean zero. slay. ✨
• failure — returns non-zero. we do not talk about it. 💀

---

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

setting read and list permissions for the subject "unix:user" on a Chirp directory:

% parrot_run parrot_setacl /chirp/student00.cse.nd.edu/user unix:user rl

look at her go. rl at the end doing the heavy lifting and ate, honestly. 🔥
