ACL_CLEAR_FLAGS_NP(3)

📦 version 15.1, in freebsd 14.5, freebsd 15.1

💅 acl_clear_flags_np(3) 💅

okay so bestie, this is the manual for acl_clear_flags_np — it lives in the Standard C Library (libc, -lc), and it's giving "niche but important" energy. The page itself was last updated on Debian, October 30, 2014, and we'll circle back to that at the very end, mwah 💋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/acl.h>

int
acl_clear_flags_np(acl_flagset_t flagset_d);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, acl_clear_flags_np() is a non-portable call — meaning it's not POSIX-standard, just so we're clear — and what it does is nuke all the NFSv4 ACL flags from the flagset you pass in as flagset_d. Literally wipes them out. Gone. No flags left. 💅

🎀 RETURN VALUES 🎀

Returns 0 if everything's gucci. ✨

If it fails, you get -1 back and the global variable errno gets set to tell you what went wrong. Simple as.

🌸 ERRORS 🌸

The function fails — like, actually throws hands — if:

  • [EINVAL] — Argument flagset_d is not a valid descriptor for a flagset. Basically you handed it something sus and it's not having it. 🙈
