ACL_SET_FLAGSET_NP(3)

💅 acl_set_flagset_np(3) — NFSv4 ACL flagset energy 🦋

okay so real talk: this page is from the Library Functions Manual, and it's here to help you set the flags on an NFSv4 ACL entry. It's giving very specific, very non-portable, and honestly kinda iconic. Periodt. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

acl_set_flagset_np — set the flags of an NFSv4 ACL entry 💖

📚 LIBRARY 📚

Standard C Library (libc, -lc) 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

int
acl_set_flagset_np(acl_entry_t entry_d, acl_flagset_t flagset_d);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

The acl_set_flagset_np() function is a non-portable call, bestie — so like, it's not out here being all universal. It sets the flags of the NFSv4 ACL entry entry_d with the flags contained in flagset_d.

This call brands the ACL as NFSv4. Yup, it's a whole branding moment. 👑

✅ RETURN VALUES ✅

acl_set_flagset_np() returns the value 0 if successful. Otherwise, it returns -1 and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error. So if you see -1, check errno, okay? 😭

🚨 ERRORS 🚨

The acl_set_flagset_np() function fails if:

• [EINVAL] — Argument entry_d is not a valid descriptor for an ACL entry. ACL is already branded as POSIX.1e. 🫠

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

📜 STANDARDS 📜

POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17. That's the standard tea. 🍵

🕰️ HISTORY 🕰️

POSIX.1e support was introduced in FreeBSD 4.0. The acl_set_flagset_np() function was added in FreeBSD 8.0. We love a historical moment. 🌈

✍️ AUTHORS ✍️

The acl_set_flagset_np() function was written by Edward Tomasz Napierala <trasz@FreeBSD.org>. Iconic behavior, honestly. 🫶

Reminder bestie: this call brands the ACL as NFSv4, and it's non-portable. Don't be surprised if the universe (or another OS) doesn't play along. 💀
